Seafood Lettuce Wrap






Makes 4-5 rolls
You can double the ingredients to make more.

Ingredients:

1 head of Boston lettuce
4 oz cooked seafood, lobster, jumbo lump crab or shrimp
1 tsp fresh mint, chopped
1 Tbs fresh cilantro (coriander), or parsley
1 Tbs lime juice
pea sprouts (or any fresh sprouts)
1 Tbs mayonnaise
salt & pepper

Preparation:

Mix the fish, herbs, lime juice, mayonnaise, salt and pepper.

Separate the lettuce leaves to form a cup for the seafood.  Spoon the seafood (not too much or it will be hard to roll),  into the lettuce leaf and top it with the fresh sprouts. Roll up the lettuce, tucking the sides in to form a little roll. You can use a toothpick to keep it together.  Use two leaves (on top of each other) for a stronger roll.

Serve with a slice of lime.

This can be served as an appetizer, or for lunch (allow 2-3) per person with a side salad.

Instead of rolling the seafood, try serving it in a martini glass, lined with the Boston lettuce leaf.  Garnish with fresh herbs.
