These Thai Zing Shrimp Lettuce Wraps are the perfect light yet flavorful meal. Juicy shrimp are pan-seared and glazed in our Thai Zing sauce — a sweet and savory blend of chili peppers, garlic, soy sauce, and ginger. Layered with cool slaw, creamy avocado, red onion, and cilantro in crisp lettuce leaves, these wraps are bright, bold, and balanced. Finished with a squeeze of lime and crushed peanuts, they’re a restaurant-level dish made easy.
