SURF ‘N TURF LETTUCE CUPS
Ingredients:
1 pound frozen jumbo shrimp, precooked and thawed
1-2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon Chesapeake Bay Style seafood seasoning
1/4 teaspoon dill
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 pound sirloin tip roast, shredded
1/8 teaspoon Mrs. Dash Garlic and Herb Blend
1 tablespoon Golden Mountain sauce
1/2 cup French Fried Onions
Boston Lettuce leaves
For Dipping Sauce:
6-8 dried peppers, sliced
1/4 teaspoon fried garlic
1 wedge of lime
1/2 teaspoon honey
2-4 tablespoons Golden Mountain Sauce
2-4 tablespoons fish sauce
Fresh Cilantro, chopped
Instructions:
Thaw shrimp according to package directions. Remove tails and discard. Dab shrimp with paper towels. In a deep skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add seafood seasoning, dill, and lime juice. Cook 1-2 minutes, turning once. Remove and set aside. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add roast beef to same skillet using pan drippings. Season with Mrs. Dash Garlic and Herb blend and Golden Mountain sauce. Stir. Reduce to simmer until heated through and liquid is absorbed. Return shrimp to pan and gently combine with beef. Wash Boston Lettuce; separate leaves, being careful not to tear. Arrange lettuce in a bowl. Fill lettuce cups with shrimp and beef mixture. Garnish with French Fried Onions. Serve with Dipping Sauce, which can also be used as a dressing.
Sounds yummy, but I’ve never heard of Golden Mountain sauce

I found it at an Asian market. It’s base is like a soy sauce, with more spice and garlic. Really awakens the taste buds. π
