Greek Shrimp Stuffed Lettuce Wraps or Pitas
Greek Shrimp Lettuce Wrap - YUM! |
low-carb and grain-free by using lettuce wraps instead of pita bread. Most feta cheese is 100% goat cheese, but check the label if you choose to avoid cow dairy.
GREEK SHRIMP STUFFED WRAPS Recipe:
Yield: 4 to 5
Shrimp Mixture:
1 pound cooked shrimp, peeled and finely chopped
4 ounces crumbled feta cheese
2 to 3 scallions, finely chopped
Fresh ground black pepper, to taste
BioSalt, to taste (recipe on this blog)
Yogurt Sauce:
1 c. plain non-fat yogurt (Greek yogurt makes a thicker sauce)
1/4 c. chopped fresh parsley and/or mint
1 clove garlic
1/2 t. fresh ground pepper
1/4 t. onion salt
BioSalt, to taste
A squeeze of fresh lemon juice, optional
Method:
Put the clove of garlic in a food processor and mince. Scrape down the sides.
Put the rest of the yogurt sauce ingredients in the food processor and process until a sauce is obtained.
Check and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Chill the yogurt sauce at least 1 hour in the refrigerator, before serving.
In a separate bowl, combine the shrimp mixture. Season to taste.
Fill lettuce wraps or pitas with the combined shrimp mixture.
Top with the yogurt sauce and serve immediately.
Note: You may garnish with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, Greek olives ,as desired.
Tip: If Greek yogurt is used, I prefer to thin the sauce with some lemon juice plus a little water.
Enjoy,
