Ingredients
  

1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 cups broccoli florets

1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)

1/4 cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1 tablespoon sesame oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon ginger, grated

1 tablespoon olive oil

4 large lettuce leaves (such as romaine or butter lettuce)

Sesame seeds, for garnish

Chopped green onions, for garnish

Instructions
 

Marinate the Shrimp: In a medium mixing bowl, add the peeled and deveined shrimp. Pour in the teriyaki sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Mix well to ensure all the shrimp are coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes. This will help the shrimp absorb the flavors.

    Prepare the Broccoli: While the shrimp is marinating, steam the broccoli florets in a steaming basket over boiling water until they become tender-crisp, which should take about 3-4 minutes. Once done, remove them from the pot and set aside to cool slightly.

      Cook the Shrimp: In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated shrimp in a single layer. Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Be vigilant to avoid overcooking, as this will make the shrimp tough. Once cooked, remove the skillet from heat.

        Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, steamed broccoli, and cooked shrimp. If desired, drizzle a little olive oil over the mixture to enhance flavor and texture. Stir well until everything is evenly combined. Taste the mixture and add more teriyaki sauce if you prefer a stronger flavor.

          Assemble Wraps: Take a large lettuce leaf and place a generous scoop of the shrimp and broccoli rice mixture in the center. Carefully fold the sides of the lettuce leaf over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to create a wrap similar to a burrito. Repeat the process with the remaining lettuce leaves and filling.

            Garnish and Serve: Once all wraps are assembled, sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the top for added flavor and visual appeal. Serve the wraps immediately, accompanied by extra teriyaki sauce on the side for dipping.
