Prepare Butter Lettuce Leafs: Wash and carefully separate the leaves of butter lettuce, ensuring they are clean and ready to cradle your delicious shrimp.

Prep Pico de Gallo Salsa: Either pre-make your favorite pico de Gallo salsa or pick up a fresh batch from your local market. This vibrant topping will add a burst of flavor to your wraps.

Squeeze the juice of 1 lime and 1 lemon into the pot.

Pour in 1 tablespoon of soy sauce.

Melt the mixture over medium heat on your stove top, stirring until well combined.

Grill the Jumbo Shrimp:

Fire up your grill with hot coals.

Grill the jumbo shrimp, basting them constantly with the delectable basting sauce. This process infuses the shrimp with a rich, buttery flavor.

Assemble Your Wraps:

Once the shrimp are perfectly grilled, remove them from the heat.

Take a butter lettuce leaf, place a grilled shrimp on it, and generously top it with pre-made or store-bought pico de Gallo salsa.

Serve and Enjoy!
