Notes

Salad: the shrimp and mango mixture makes an excellent topping or addition to straight-up salad so if you don’t want to mess with wrapping it all in lettuce take my advice and chop up some lettuce romaine iceberg spinach etc and add the shrimp and mango salsa for a chopped-style salad that will be amazing promise
Heartiness: also if you want to add a little heartiness to the lettuce wraps consider adding rice coconut rice would be divine or quinoa under the shrimp and mango salsa
