Cilantro-Lime Shrimp Wraps Are Low-Carb Lunch Gold

“Cilantro-lime” is a flavor profile we can never get enough of. Cilantro lime salmon, cilantro lime chicken wings, cilantro lime rice… we’ve done it all. Pretty much anything goes well with a kick from cumin, a little tang from lime juice, and fresh herby zing from cilantro, including these simple, low-carb lettuce wraps featuring quick-cooking shrimp.

Not only are the shrimp super fast to cook here, they also don’t need much time to marinate. Sure, the flavors will improve slightly if you can give them a good 20 minutes to meld together in the fridge, but even if you just tossed them together and then directly into the pan, these will still turn out delicious. The shrimp only need a few minutes in the pan (try using tongs to flip them to keep them as consistent as possible, but two minutes per side is not a lot of time, so just do your best), and then they’re ready to go!

Load them up with whatever toppings you like—simple sliced avocado and sour cream (try thinning it with a little water or milk for drizzling consistency) like we’ve done here are great, and mean these can be on your table in no time. If you’re happy to take a bit more time on your meal, we recommend homemaking some Mexican-inspired toppings, like guacamole, salsa, or pico de gallo. If you’re not low-carb, feel free to put these shrimp inside a tortilla or pita, or atop a bowl of white or brown rice too.

Made these? Let us know how it went in the comments below.

Prep Time:

30 mins

Total Time:

40 mins

Ingredients

1
(17.5-oz.) package Betty Crocker™ Sugar Cookie Mix
1/3 c.
plus 2 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tbsp.
powdered sugar
1/2 c.
(1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1
large egg
1
(16-oz.) can Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy Vanilla Frosting
Blue, red, and green food coloring, Betty Crocker™ Candy Eyeballs, and Betty Crocker™ 4-Cell Sugars, for decorating

Directions

1. Step 1
  
  Line a baking sheet with parchment. In a large bowl, whisk Betty Crocker™ Sugar Cookie Mix, cocoa powder, and powdered sugar. Add butter and egg and mix with a wooden spoon or electric mixer until a dough forms and no dry spots remain. It will seem dry at first, but keep mixing and it will come together.
2. Step 2On a large cutting board, roll dough until 1/8″ to 1/4″ thick. Using a 3″ round cookie cutter, cut out as many rounds as possible. Do not remove rounds from cut dough. Refrigerate dough 20 minutes before peeling away scraps. Reroll scraps to cut out more rounds.
3. Step 3Preheat oven to 350º. Arrange rounds on prepared sheet, spacing 1″ to 2″ apart.
4. Step 4 Bake cookies until centers are set and edges are crisp, about 10 minutes. Let cool completely.
5. Step 5Separate Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy Vanilla Frosting into 3 bowls, then color with blue, red, and green food coloring.
6. Step 6Place a generous spoonful of green frosting on bottom of a cookie. Top with another cookie, angling the edge upward to push some frosting out like a bubble. Place 1 to 3 Betty Crocker™ Candy Eyeballs into widest part of frosting. Holding the cookie, spoon or sprinkle green Betty Crocker™ decorating sugar over frosting. Repeat with other frosting colors and matching sugars. Refrigerate leftover cookies.

Toasted Ravioli

We’re obsessed with ravioli, but most of the time we admit that the four pieces you get as a serving aren’t filling enough. That’s why it makes the perfect app. Breaded and fried, it’s so fun to eat ravioli with your hands and dipping it in plenty of marinara. Bonus! Toasted ravioli works in the air fryer too, meaning you can skip all of the oil for an even more perfect appetizer.

Yields:: 12
Prep Time:: 1 hour 0 min
Total Time:: 1 hour 10 min

Ingredients

1
(1 lb.) New York strip steak, about 1¼” thick
Kosher salt
1/3 c.
mayonnaise
2/3 c.
(about 4 oz.) Treasure Cave® Crumbled Blue Cheese, plus additional for serving
Zest of 1 lemon, plus 1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
Freshly ground black pepper
6
pieces (about 6 oz.) thick-cut bacon
1
large yellow or white onion, peeled and thinly sliced
1/3 c.
bourbon
Extra-virgin olive oil
12
brioche slider buns
Unsalted butter, for toasting buns
12
large basil leaves

Directions

1. Step 1Place steak on a plate and season generously on all sides with salt. Some salt will come off when you pat the steak dry later, so don’t be shy–season with gusto. Let steak come to room temperature as you prepare components for sliders.
2. Step 2In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, ⅔ cup Treasure Cave® Crumbled Blue Cheese, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Stir to combine and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to refrigerator until ready to serve.
3. Step 3Place a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add bacon and cook, flipping occasionally, until slices are crisp and golden, about 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
4. Step 4Remove all but 2 tablespoons bacon fat from pan, reserving any remaining fat for searing steak. Add onions, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden on the edges and starting to caramelize, about 12 to 15 minutes. Reduce heat if necessary to prevent burning. Add bourbon and stir to deglaze bottom of pan until nearly evaporated, about 30 seconds. Transfer onions to a bowl until ready to assemble sliders.
5. Step 5Wipe out skillet and place over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons reserved bacon fat, using olive oil as necessary if not enough bacon fat remains. When fat just begins to smoke, add steak. Sear until well caramelized and crusty on the underside, about 6 to 8 minutes. Flip, and continue cooking until steak is golden, about 4 to 6 minutes more; an instant-read thermometer stuck into the middle of steak should read 125° to 130° for medium-rare. Using a pair of tongs, hold one side of steak to the surface of the skillet, rolling back and forth as necessary to brown, about 1 ½ minutes. Repeat with the second side of steak.
6. Step 6Remove steak to a rack and let rest to allow juices to redistribute, 10 minutes. (If you prefer your steak room temperature, let rest up to 30 minutes.) Thinly slice against the grain. Taste a slice and season to taste with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
7. Step 7As steak rests, toast slider buns: Split buns in half. Place cast iron skillet back on the burner over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon butter. When melted, add as many buns will fit, cut sides down. Toast until lightly golden, about 1 to 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining buns, replenishing butter as necessary between batches.
8. Step 8Assemble sliders: Spread blue cheese mixture on both sides of the slider buns. Add a basil leaf to the bottom halves of the buns. Break the bacon slices in half and divide among the buns, along with the steak, caramelized onions, and additional Treasure Cave® Crumbled Blue Cheese. Using toothpicks, finish each slider with a bun top and serve.
