Directions
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp in a single layer; cook, undisturbed, until slightly pink on 1 side, about 2 minutes. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons each soy sauce and garlic; toss until well coated. Cook, stirring often, until cooked through, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate with the pan drippings.
Whisk coconut milk, peanut butter, hoisin, lime juice, sugar, sambal oelek, ginger and the remaining 1 teaspoon garlic and 1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce together in a medium bowl until smooth.
Make 8 stacks of 2 lettuce leaves each. Divide the shrimp, bell peppers, carrots, onion and peanuts evenly among the lettuce cups. Top with cilantro. Serve with the peanut sauce.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
