"A low-calorie version of the kinds of lettuce wraps you might get at PF Changs. I modified several lettuce wrap recipes to use lower calorie ingredients and ended up with something we really enjoyed. We hope you enjoy it too!"

directions

PREPARE STIR FRY SAUCE (May be done several days ahead): Mix together brown sugar, 2T soy sauce and rice wine vinegar.
PREPARE WRAP SAUCE (May be done several days ahead) Mix together Splenda, water, rice wine vinegar, ketchup, lemon juice and soy sauce. Put aside in a bowl to chill and let flavors blend
Dice chicken breasts and sautee' in Pam in a non-stick skillet.
Remove chicken from skillet. Using a knife or a food processor, chop or process both the chicken and shrimp VERY finely. (I really like the rough, crumbly texture you get when you use the food processor on pulse.)
Return shrimp and chicken to pan. Add stir fry sauce. Let simmer for a few minutes for flavors to blend. Add scallions.
Slice off root of lettuce head. Pull your lettuce cups off the outside of the head of lettuce. (Chop up remaining lettuce to use in salads.)
Serve the meat in a bowl, with the lettuce cups on the side. To eat, spoon the mixture using a slotted spoon into the cup of lettuce and pour some of the special sauce over the mixture. Fold up the lettuce up like a tortilla and eat over a bowl.
Serve with some rice to absorb the tasty sauces!

This was very good. I followed the recipe as written and would not change a thing. It was a fun addition to an Asian meal.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Cat from Charlotte

My husband is the true chef in the household, but I love to dabble and try recipes myself. While Jay prefers to cook full-on main courses, I like to fix sides and appetizers the best. I also like taking photos of the food when I'm done, and seeing if I can get them looking even close to professional. My husband tells me that my problem is that I almost never fix a recipe the way it was written. I'm always, ALWAYS, trying to "improve" upon it. Sometimes it works. Many times it doesn't. I'm a technology manager. It's a job that can drain your soul, but I work for a fantastic team and I love the people I work with. I also enjoy photography, writing and gardening.
