New favorite dinner alert!

These cilantro lime shrimp lettuce wraps are super fresh, easy and taste amazing. The shrimp is grilled to perfection, doused in cilantro lime dressing, topped with corn and cotija cheese and wrapped in a butter lettuce + iceberg combo.

It is divine. 

The perfect summer bite!

I’ve been dreaming of making this for dinner all spring. It’s such a refreshing and satisfying meal, one that tastes great at the end of a hot summer day. Preferably eaten on the patio with a lovely little spritzer.

Maybe even add some yacht rock. I am secretly 80 years old! 

Oh my gosh – the flavor!! 

If I had to choose one dressing to have forever in my fridge, out of all my recipes… I think it would be this one.

There is something so fresh, bright and flavorful about this dressing. It’s not overly cilantro-y or overly lime-y. It’s the best balance of both and when served with something like lettuce wraps and grilled shrimp, is the epitome of summer.

The dressing is what makes this recipe. You can make it a day or so ahead of time and store it in the fridge so it’s ready to go. Just shake it before using. 

Everything else is super easy.

Grill the shrimp. It takes literal minutes. 

Build some lettuce wraps. I love a combo of both iceberg (for refreshing crispness) and butter lettuce (for that soft wrap-around texture). I layer them and serve the shrimp on top. 

Once the shrimp is in the cup, I add corn, cotija cheese and a few big drizzles of the dressing. 

THAT’S IT! (more…)
