Buffalo Shrimp Lettuce Wraps
I love lettuce wraps, they are my go-to when I want to eat low-carb. In fact, I have so many lettuce wrap recipes here on my site, everything from Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps, Taco Lettuce Wraps to BLT Lettuce Wraps just to name a few.
These spicy shrimp lettuce wraps are keto, low-carb and gluten-free. An idea I had after a craving for Buffalo Shrimp. You eat them with your hands, so they’re a bit messy. If you prefer to turn this into a salad, simply serve the shrimp over chopped romaine.
I used butter lettuce for these lettuce wraps, but Romaine or Iceberg lettuce works great too. These are great for lunch or a light dinner, you don’t need any fancy equipment, just a skillet. The best part, this whole shrimp dish takes less than 10 minutes to make.

Couldn’t have been easier! Dinner done in 10 minutes!
What about the celery?
Add with the other toppings. 🙂
While the color was pale, the flavor was spot on! Thanks for the recipe.
My husband and I devoured this! I made my own blue cheese sauce with Greek yogurt and blue cheese crumbles. My lettuce wrapping skills suck, so I ripped up the lettuce and made salad. Soooo good! I wish I had more shrimp!
Another delicious recipe from skinny taste! Trying to eat healthier and venturing out to cook more seafood, this was SO easy and SO delicious. I’ve made it twice this week!
Thanks Jen!
Another winner! I made mine into a salad. Not too spicy at all for us. I made homemade ranch to go along with it. One of my favorite ranch’s. So, yummy!
Made these the other night and not only were they super easy but they were absolutely delicious! Everyone loved them and they have earned their place on our meal rotation! Your recipes never disappoint ❤️
Thanks Danny!
Love this one! I just use blue cheese crumbles instead of dressing, and a bit of ranch seasoning sprinkled on top. Made it again for the super bowl!
Wonderful recipe! My two teenages sons LOVED this. I doubled recipe to make sure we had lunch leftovers the next day. Perfect!
Absolutely delicious, just the right amount of spice, I just started weight watchers and will definitely be making these again, thank you!
Perfect low carb lunch! I LOVED every bite.
Made this for the first time last night. I loved them. Very tasty. I used romaine lettuce just because I had it on hand and it really wasn’t messy at all. Will be making them again for sure.
Gina, I love these. going to make them tonight. do you think I can serve them with tortillas as tacos? my husband’s not watching his carbs 🙂
Sure!
Easy and yummy! I will say my husband doesn’t hold to the portion size lol we ate the entire recipe between the two of us. Great when you’re wanting something light but flavorful. Franks wing sauce is the best!
I thought these were great. I think chopping up the shrimp allows it to go little further and fill your lettuce a little better. You could easily add more filler by not adding calories by adding more celery, cabbage ( both colors would look good) . Also the blue cheese dressing recipe is spot on and would be great for dipping veggies… your next salads ect. I haven’t made a bad thing yet from this site!!!!!
Thanks Tiffany!
OMG! This was insanely delicious! I made your homemade blue cheese dressing using apple cider vinegar instead of the lemon juice and it was amazing! It was messy but certainly worth every drip. This is in my regular rotation. Simple and quick to make. Next time I may do it as a chopped salad. My husband and I both thank you for this recipe!
Glad you enjoyed it!
These were awesome! One thing I noticed was that using iceberg lettuce, this only made 4 lettuce wraps total. Not sure how the recipe would produce 12. That being said- I made my shrimp in the air fryer! I used red Argentine shrimp from Trader Joe’s (an absolute MUST have), 400 for 7 min. Topped w blue cheese crumbles, red onion celery and avocado. My partner and I devoured them but were still quite hungry after. I loved this and will absolutely make again- but DOUBLE it!
I took this to a happy hour for an appetizer. Also used cabbage leaves. I made a big tray and let everyone assemble themselves. HUGE hit with everyone – men and women devoured it and asked for the recipe.
I’m assuming that the points’ calculations for this recipe does not include the addition of the blue cheese dressing on top, correct? Sorry for the silly question!
