This Pork and Shrimp Lettuce Wraps are my go-to paleo meal when I want something filling and delicious but have very little time. Rachael Ray would be happy to know this is 30 minutes or less kind of meal. Even my non-paleo friends enjoyed it. I like this with quartered bell peppers. You can also use lettuce as the wrap, but I encourage you to try it with coloured bell peppers. They have a great natural sweet taste, a nice crunch and a perfect way to get more veggies in without even trying!
This Pork and Shrimp Lettuce Wraps are one of my favourite paleo recipes, and I’ve made it a dozen times but keep forgetting to post.
