Balsamic-Lime Glazed Shrimp in Lettuce Leaves Recipe

Balsamic-Lime Glazed Shrimp in Lettuce Leaves Recipe

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 1/4 cups balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon finely grated lime zest
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1 pound medium shrimp – peeled, deveined, and tails removed
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 20 leaves Bibb lettuce
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Place the shallots into the oil and butter; cook and stir until tender, about 5 minutes.
  2. Pour the chicken stock and balsamic vinegar in with the shallots; add the lime zest and lime juice and stir until well combined. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the mixture has thickened and reduced by half into a glaze, 15 to 20 minutes.
  3. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil; toss to coat. Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the shrimp in the preheated skillet until opaque and bright pink, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes per side.
  4. Arrange the Bibb lettuce leaves on a serving platter. Place one shrimp in each cup of lettuce. Drizzle the shrimp with the balsamic-lime glaze. Serve extra glaze on the side for dipping.
