Buffalo shrimp lettuce wraps are an easy and healthy low carb and gluten free meal! Tasty Buffalo sauce marinated shrimp are loaded into lettuce wraps with a tangy slaw and topped with blue cheese - a perfect weeknight meal, or easy lunch.

Although we follow a mostly plant based diet, we do eat fish or seafood about once every week or so. When we do make the choice to eat seafood, we like to make sure that it is sustainably sourced.

After going to the gym this morning, I was feeling pretty hungry and these Buffalo Shrimp Lettuce Wraps came together quickly (the recipe says 20 minutes, but if you time it well you can do it in 10), and made an excellent and satisfying post-workout meal - high protein and lots of healthy green things 🙂

I mentioned before that James and I were pretty much hot sauce connoisseurs, and in true hot sauce lover form we both love the flavour of a great Buffalo sauce. When we found Uncle Dougie's Wicked Good No Fry Wing Marinade in our local grocery store, we had to give it a try.

Last summer, one of our indulgences was stopping in at our local wing joint to get our hot sauce fix, and we wanted to find a healthier way to satisfy our wing sauce cravings.

Usually we make all our sauces from scratch so we can control what is in them, but this sauce meets all our nutritional needs: made from real food, and no preservatives. After trying it a couple of times in these wraps, we are pretty much in love with it, and can't wait to try out some new recipes with it.

These wraps are very simple to put together, and you could incorporate any wrap fillings or taco toppings you like to fill them out (sauteed veggies for a fajita style wrap would be nice). I've been loving cabbage lately, so a quick coleslaw is what I decided on - I just love the fresh crispness of the cabbage and the crunch it provides to the wrap.
