Up your Taco Tuesday Game with these healthy Chipotle Shrimp Lettuce Wraps! <\/h2>\n

I freaking love lettuce wraps! <\/p>\n

They\u2019re easy to make, super healthy, low-carb & can even be made keto and they are so DELICIOUS!<\/p>\n

We have them at least 3 times a week. I’m not kidding! Living in Mexico comes with many advantages, one of them being that every day is Taco Tuesday. Starting with breakfast.<\/p>\n

Needless to say that all those tortillas will mess with your bikini bod. Yeah, have I mentioned that every day is bikini day on the Yucatan Peninsula? <\/p>\n

But whether you’re a taco addict or not, replacing tortillas with lettuce leaves is definitely the thing to do if you want Taco Tuesdays but want to cut down on the carbs.<\/p>\n

You will not miss the tortillas, trust me. My husband actually explicitly asks for lettuce instead of tortillas at the restaurant now because he got to love them that much.<\/p>\n

Guys these shrimp lettuce wraps are the BOMB. The lettuce leaves add a delicious crunch and freshness. <\/p>\n

Today\u2019s lettuce wraps are loaded with tender honey chipotle shrimp and a creamy mango cilantro sauce.<\/p>\n

The spiciness and smokiness from the chipotle shrimp, along with the fresh crunchy veggies, sweet mango cubes and the creamy tangy cilantro sauce makes a delicious flavor-packed combo that is out of this world!<\/p>\n

How to make Honey Chipotle Shrimp Lettuce Wraps: <\/h2>\n

Chipotle Shrimp has SO much flavor and it cooks in a flash! And the prep work is minimal if you use pre-peeled shrimp.<\/p>\n

Start by making the marinade – a sweet and smoky chipotle sauce just spicy enough to make your mouth tingle enveloping tender perfectly cooked shrimp.<\/p>\n

All ingredients are simply blended in your food processor until you have a smooth paste<\/p>\n

The peeled thawed or fresh shrimp are then quickly marinated in out sweet and spicy chipotle marinade, then cooked on the grill for a charred flavor. You can also sear the shrimp in a hot skillet.<\/p>\n

By the way\u2026the honey chipotle marinade tastes so good on its own! <\/p>\n

How to make Creamy Mango Cilantro Sauce: <\/h3>\n

Again, this one is so easy, you don’t even need a recipe. Just pop all ingredients into your blender and blend until smooth. Taste and add more salt is needed. <\/p>\n

This easy creamy tacos sauce can be made up to 4 days in advance and stored in the fridge in an airtight container or a bowl covered with cling film.<\/p>\n

Now it’s time to assemble your lettuce wraps: <\/h3>\n

For serving, make sure you have all your taco toppings ready in small bowls.<\/p>\n
