Chili-Lime Shrimp Lettuce Cups with Pico de Gallo


Looking for a light, fresh, and flavor-packed summer dish? These Chili-Lime Shrimp Lettuce Cups are the answer. Juicy shrimp are sautéed with zesty lime and smoky chili spices, then tucked into crisp butter lettuce and topped with homemade pico de gallo. They’re quick to make, low-carb, and perfect for warm-weather dinners, backyard get-togethers, or an easy weeknight meal that feels anything but boring

Directions

  1. Make the Pico de Gallo: In a bowl, combine diced tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix and let sit while you prepare the shrimp.
  2. Cook the Shrimp: Pat shrimp dry and toss in a bowl with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and lime juice. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side, until pink and lightly seared. Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
  3. Assemble the Lettuce Cups: Lay out lettuce leaves on a platter. Fill each with a spoonful of shrimp, a small scoop of pico de gallo, and a few red onion slices. Add extra lime wedges on the side for squeezing.
