Ingredients

• 1 pound large shrimp (about 36), peeled and deveined

• 3 tablespoons canola oil

• Salt and freshly ground pepper

• 12 leaves green curly leaf lettuce

• Serrano-Mint Sauce, recipe follows

• Chili oil, for drizzling, optional

Directions

1. Preheat the grill to medium-high. In a large bowl, toss shrimp in oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the shrimp for 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until just cooked through. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, or they will be tough and rubbery. Remove from the grill.

2. Place about 3 shrimp in each lettuce leaf. Drizzle with the Serrano-Mint Sauce and with a little chili oil, if desired. Sprinkle with a few cilantro leaves. Roll up the lettuce leaves, and eat immediately.

• 1 cup tightly packed mint leaves, plus more for garnish

• 2 serrano chiles, chopped

• 4 cloves garlic, chopped

• 1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and chopped

• 2 teaspoons sugar

• 1/4 cup white wine vinegar

• 2 tablespoons fish sauce

• Salt

• Place all ingredients, except for salt, in a blender. Pulse until smooth. Season, to taste.
