Curried Shrimp Lettuce Wraps

Wraps are extremely customisable dishes, consisting of a variety of veggies, protein, and sauces. One variation is the Curried Shrimp Lettuce Wrap, made of lettuce, shrimp, bell pepper, parsley, turmeric powder, garlic, curry powder, avocado oil, salt, and pepper. The garlic aioli will require mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic, and paprika powder. 

Shrimp, the main base for these wraps, comes with several health benefits. They’re low in carbs and calories, and high in nutrients and protein, making them an ideal food for weight loss, depending on how they’re cooked and consumed. They're packed with antioxidants that protect against cell damage, prevent wrinkles, and lessen sun damage on skin. They contain omega-3 fatty acids that promote heart health, and the antioxidant astaxanthin which promotes brain health. 

The lettuce, besides providing a crunch and freshness to the salad, also comes with a host of health benefits. It promotes bone health, hydrates the body given its high water content, promotes eye health, improves sleep, and its low calorie count means there’s no harm in consuming it in large amounts.
