Bang Bang Shrimp Lettuce Cups

Bang Bang Shrimp Lettuce Cups are the perfect option for gatherings or a light finger food snack. These are already Low-Carb, however, for a Clean Eating, Whole 30 approved and gluten-free option you can use Cooked Shrimps (small) instead of Shrimp Poppers. You can make these lettuce cups as a side to the Spicy Chicken Broccoli Fry.

Can you just see these sitting on a table at a potluck or BBQ? I love them!
