Pretty and delicious
This recipe was created and shared by my friend, Heidi Bauer. Heidi and I met through a Facebook challenge group that kept us accountable for our daily workouts. It was also a great group for quick and healthy meal ideas, including this one. Thanks for allowing me to post this fantastic recipe, Heidi!
Heidi says, "My big thing is to make one thing and use it a bunch of ways. Make an Asian slaw and use it to top burgers or add to a stir fry or fish tacos or rice paper wraps. Then the next week make a fresh salsa and repeat all the same mains. Use ground beef and make tacos, use in mason jar salads, make enchiladas or a taco lasagna with soft taco shells instead of noodles." She also says, "Go through the grocery store flyers, pick a flavour theme and use all the ingredients up for that flavour theme until you run out."
Personally, I have tended to try to vary my flavours each week, but I love the theme idea. What a great way to make sure that you don't waste anything (like cilantro)!
These wraps are light and delicious, not to mention so, so pretty. If you don't like shrimp, you could easily substitute chicken or pork.
Shrimp and Asian Slaw Rice Paper Wraps
Asian citrus vinaigrette and mango salsa with rice paper wraps and shrimp
Asian Citrus Vinaigrette (makes 12 servings)
1/4 cup 100% orange juice
1/4 cup rice vinegar
2 tbsp reduced sodium soy sauce
2 tbsp raw honey
1/2 inch of fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
1/4 cup sesame oil
Whisk together and pour a small amount over slaw. Add more as you like. The longer you let the slaw sit with dressing, the less you need. I only used a couple of teaspoons for lunch.
Mango Salsa
Mango
1/4 Vidalia or red onion
Cilantro
Green chile (Robyn's note - I omitted this)
Lime
Chop all and squeeze half a lime over top. Mix well.
Rice Paper Wraps
Rice paper wraps
Shrimp or chicken
To make the wraps, soften in hot water. Top with shrimp (or chicken), coleslaw and mango salsa. If you put the shrimp on the bottom, they look nice once you fold your wraps. Enjoy!
Verdict
As Heidi mentions, the coleslaw and mango salsa are very versatile and would be great served with fish, burgers, pulled pork or anything you like.
