Lettuce forms a crispy shell that's full of possibilities, depending on what's in your fridge. Swap shrimp for cooked chicken, pork or tofu. Mix in any veggies you want: carrots, broccoli, snow peas and chopped zucchini are all fantastic add-ins. —Taste of Home Test Kitchen

Ingredients

1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon apricot preserves
2 tablespoons water
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
2 medium carrots
6 green onions
3 teaspoons olive oil, divided
1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 large sweet red pepper, chopped
2 cups hot cooked rice
8 large lettuce leaves

Directions

In a small bowl, mix the first 6 ingredients. Using a vegetable peeler, shave carrots lengthwise into very thin strips. Slice white parts of green onions; cut each green top in half lengthwise.
In a large skillet, heat 2 teaspoons oil over medium-high heat. Add shrimp; stir-fry until pink. Remove from pan.
Stir-fry red pepper and carrots in remaining oil 4 minutes. Add white parts of onions; stir-fry 1-2 minutes longer or until vegetables are crisp-tender.
Add 1/3 cup soy sauce mixture to pan. Bring to a boil. Add shrimp; heat through. Place 1/4 cup rice on each lettuce leaf; top with 1/2 cup shrimp mixture. Drizzle with remaining soy sauce mixture and roll up. Tie each with a green onion strip.
