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.

Delicious!!! I don’t like blue cheese so I used plain Greek yogurt. OH my was that tasty! I love your recipes! They’re always what I’m looking for. Thank you!!
What did you use for a side with this? I’m thinking Fiesta Lime Rice?
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!
