Ingredients:

• 1 pound – large Shrimp, cleaned and deveined
• 1 big bunch – Romaine Lettuce Leaves
• Oil
• Salt
• Thread
• Grind together to make a paste:
• Salt
• 1/2 Coconut
• 4 – Green chillies
• Half a bunch of Coriander leaves
• 2 Cloves – Garlic
• 1 inch piece – Ginger
• Half a small Onion

Method:

  1. Take the shrimp and apply the paste to it. Marinate for about 5 hours.
  2. Take each leaf of lettuce, place around 5 shrimps in each leaf and tie the leaf round the shrimp with thread so as to cover the shrimp entirely. Keep aside for an hour.
  3. Then place the shrimp wraps in a steamer, and steam 4 wraps at a time for about 5 minutes.
  4. Once all the wraps are done, place them in a baking dish and bake at 500 degrees F or on broil for 3 minutes, to char the leaves charred. Take out immediately and serve hot.
