About this Recipe

By: Caitlin Greene

Sriracha me crazy! These are an absolute favorite of mine and incredibly easy to whip up. Pair with baked plantains and you’ve got a delicious meal in 15 minutes. Since farm-raised shrimp often contains hormones and dyes I always opt for the healthier option of wild-caught shrimp. It’s better for you and the environment. You could also try this out with wild-caught scallops, so yummy! This meal is especially nice during the summer where I’m from because I can usually always find fresh locally grown heads of butter, Boston, or bibb lettuce at the farmer’s markets. All three types of lettuces will do but I used the butter variation for this recipe.
