(Family Features) Wraps are a delicious way to roll up favorite flavor combinations from almost every cuisine, and they're simple to make at home.
Here's a creative no-cook wrap for your recipe box. Everything about it is easy and appealing. Asian Shrimp and Beets Wraps are packed with amazing taste sensations and good-for-you ingredients. Pre-cooked shrimp marinate in prepared sesame-ginger vinaigrette while you chop the ready-to-eat jarred pickled beets. Using high-quality, jarred pickled beets saves time - the peeling and pickling are done for you. Aunt Nellie's beets are picked, pickled and packed at their perfect ripeness, so they retain their farm fresh flavor and high antioxidant profile.
The sweet-tangy beets meld perfectly with the mango and cilantro for the filling. Assemble wraps by spooning shrimp onto lettuce leaves and topping with the colorful beet-mango mixture. Bibb or butter lettuce will provide the best flexibility for easy filling, rolling - and eating.
These wraps, made with smaller lettuce leaves, make delicious appetizers, too. For additional recipes and serving suggestions visit www.auntnellies.com.
