Lime Shrimp Lettuce Wraps.

The other month, my husband came back from Korea where he and my son saw Paul McCartney in concert. The energy that Paul McCartney displayed up on stage for the three hour show convinced my husband to go as vegetarian as he could. So he became a pescetarian.

Yesterday, we went to lunch at a Thai restaurant with a group from our church. Someone order lettuce wraps with minced pork, and they looked delicious. That got me thinking about how I could make a twist on them so that my family could eat them. These lime shrimp lettuce wraps were born.

I'm not good at measuring while I cook, I tend to eyeball the ingredients and hope that it all turns out in the end. However, even though I'm not a precise cook, I wanted to share with you how we made these tasty wraps.
