Step 1

Chop your shrimp into small bite-sized pieces and place them into a large glass bowl.

Step 2

Finely chop up your chipotle pepper and add it to that same bowl together with adobo sauce, minced garlic, lime zest, lime juice, sea salt and pepper.

Step 3

Toss shrimp gently to coat really well with all the goodies.

Step 4

Allow shrimp to sit in this sauce for about 10 minutes while you prepare your lettuce.

Step 5

Thoroughly rinse the lettuce with cold water, then pat the excess moisture with paper towels, or allow to air dry on towels.

Step 6

Arrange lettuce leaves nicely on a large platter. You can double them up if desired, to better hold (transport,) the filling.

Step 7

Heat a large heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Add in your oil and heat until simmering. I really prefer a cast iron for this, to get that beautiful char...but any skillet will work.

Step 8

Add in your shrimp with its sauce, and cook stirring occasionally, until slightly charred and opaque, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Divide your chipotle lime shrimp among your lettuce leaves.

Step 10

Sprinkle with chopped cucumbers, cilantro and drizzle with freshly squeezed lime juice as shown.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy!
