Sesame Ginger Prawn Lettuce Wraps with Tangy Asian Slaw

We’re bringing it back to Asian theme week and getting this incredible recipe up so you can make it at home! Not only is it light and the perfect healthy dinner for these last few warmer days but it's actually filling and insanely delicious! When hubby suggested lettuce wraps for this theme week I was hesitant, we’ve already done a prawn wrap recipe that's good and I felt like eating more than lettuce. He asked me to trust him and boy was I floored when he created this masterpiece!

It's hard to pinpoint the star of this dish - it's somewhere between the prawns and the sauce created for them and the slaw made to perfection that makes these lettuce wraps full of fresh crispy ingredients leaving you surprisingly full and satisfied! Another huge perk is this recipe is so quick to make it perfect after a long day of work - most of the time spent is just cutting your produce! The prawns take next to no time to cook and you have yourself a perfectly balanced meal that won’t leave you feeling full and sluggish for the rest of your evening!
