What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Eat More: Surf ‘n Turf Lettuce Cups! This is one of those freezer meals that you can throw together in a flash. Precooked frozen shrimp and leftover sirloin tip roast are the main attractions. By adding spices, fresh herbs, and a special dipping sauce, this hearty meal knocks it out of the park! The whole idea behind the lettuce cup is keeping it simple. You deserve all the praise!
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.
