Name: Sambal Shrimp Lettuce Wraps
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1/2 cup hot chili paste (such as sambal oelek); 1/4 cup honey; 1/4 cup unseasoned rice vinegar; 4 tsp. toasted sesame oil, divided; 1 1/2 lb. large shrimp; Kosher salt; 1-2 Tbsp. vegetable oil; 2 Persian cucumbers, thinly sliced into rounds; Flaky sea salt; 2 heads of Bibb lettuce, leaves separated, covered, chilled; 1/2 cup mint sprigs; 1/2 cup crushed salted, dry-roasted peanuts

Servings: persons

1/2 cup hot chili paste (such as sambal oelek)
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup unseasoned rice vinegar
4 tsp. toasted sesame oil, divided
1 1/2 lb. large shrimp
Kosher salt
1-2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
2 Persian cucumbers, thinly sliced into rounds
Flaky sea salt
2 heads of Bibb lettuce, leaves separated, covered, chilled
1/2 cup mint sprigs
1/2 cup crushed salted, dry-roasted peanuts

1
Whisk hot chili paste, honey, vinegar, and 2 tsp. sesame oil in a small bowl to combine. Season shrimp lightly with kosher salt and place in a resealable plastic bag. Pour in half of marinade and seal bag. Transfer remaining marinade to a small bowl and set aside for serving. Let shrimp sit at room temperature, turning the bag occasionally to ensure even coating, 10-15 minutes.
2
Remove shrimp from marinade, allowing excess to drip back into bag, and transfer to paper towels to drain. Heat 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Working in batches and adding another 1 Tbsp. oil along the way if the skillet is looking dry, arrange shrimp in skillet in a single layer and cook undisturbed 2 minutes (the marinade will have darkened in color and some of the sugars in it will have started to caramelize). Turn shrimp over and cook 30 seconds. Transfer to a platter.
3
Arrange cucumbers on platter next to shrimp; season with sea salt and drizzle with remaining 2 tsp. sesame oil. Arrange lettuce leaves and mint sprigs on platter so that each component is visible and easily accessible. Place crushed peanuts in a small bowl and set out next to platter along with reserved marinade (for spooning into wraps).
