Equipment

Large skillet
Mixing bowl
Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

1 pound Shrimp, peeled and deveined 450g
½ cup Buffalo sauce 120ml
2 tablespoons Butter 30g
8 large leaves Romaine or butter lettuce leaves
2 Celery stalks, finely diced about 100g
¼ cup Blue cheese crumbles 30g
2 tablespoons Avocado oil 30ml
1 teaspoon Garlic powder 3g
1 teaspoon Onion powder 3g
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Begin by preparing the shrimp. In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
Reduce the heat to low and add the buffalo sauce and butter to the skillet. Stir until the shrimp are well coated and the butter is melted.
Remove from heat and allow the shrimp to soak in the sauce for a couple of minutes, stirring occasionally.
Assemble the lettuce wraps by placing a few shrimp onto each lettuce leaf. Sprinkle with diced celery and blue cheese crumbles.
Serve immediately, with extra buffalo sauce on the side if desired.

Notes

For a dairy-free option, omit the blue cheese or replace it with a dairy-free cheese alternative.

Adjust the level of spiciness by using mild or hot buffalo sauce according to your preference.

If you're preparing this as a meal, consider doubling the portion size.
