Say goodbye to take-out and hello to your new culinary masterpiece: Shrimp Lettuce Wraps that'll rock your taste buds while keeping things healthy and low carb, perfect for our keto pals.

1. Begin your adventure by delicately separating the lettuce into those gorgeous leaves, and let them await their flavorful destiny.

2. Now, let's craft a magical elixir: In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, chili garlic sauce, and cornstarch. Set it aside, it's your secret sauce.

3. Heat up half a tablespoon of canola or avocado oil in a medium skillet, just until it's dancing with heat. Introduce the shrimp to the sizzle and stir-fry them into a golden brown delight, which takes about 2 minutes. Once they've achieved perfection, transfer them to a plate. Don't worry about any excess juices; they've done their job.

4. In the same sizzling skillet, add the remaining half tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Toss in the garlic, bell pepper, green onions, and those fine carrot strips. Let them stir-fry until they've reached that sweet spot of tender-crisp perfection, which usually takes around 2 minutes.

5. Reunite the glorious shrimp with this colorful medley, and then introduce the cashews and cilantro to the party. Pour in that secret sauce you whisked up earlier, and stir-fry it all together until the shrimp are singing with flavor, usually around 3 minutes.

6. Now, scoop this delectable shrimp mixture onto your waiting lettuce leaves, and wrap them up like the culinary genius you are!

Bon appétit! Your homemade shrimp lettuce wraps are ready to dazzle your taste buds and impress your dinner guests. Enjoy the scrumptious adventure!

How to Make It:

1. Begin this culinary adventure by preheating your oven to a toasty 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Give your salmon fillets some love with a sprinkle of sea salt and black pepper, then roast them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for around 20 minutes, or until they're cooked through.

3. Once they've achieved their roasted perfection, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a relaxing 5 minutes before you start shredding or flaking them into delightful, medium-sized chunks.

4. While your salmon cools, gather your onions, bell peppers, jalapeños, spinach, Old Bay seasoning, breadcrumbs, parsley, mayo, dijon mustard, egg, sriracha, and lemon juice in a large bowl. Then, add in those beautiful salmon chunks and get your hands in there, mixing it all up with love.

5. Scoop out about 2 tablespoons of this flavorful batter and form them into delightful balls with your hands. Place them lovingly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Keep going until all that mouthwatering batter is used up.

6. Bake your salmon balls for 15-20 minutes, or until they're slightly crisp and that lovely golden brown color we all adore.

7. Now, let's whip up that rosemary aioli magic! Combine your vegan mayo, lemon juice, crushed/minced garlic cloves, sea salt, and that freshly chopped rosemary in a medium bowl. Whisk it all together until it's a symphony of flavors. Pop it in the fridge until you're ready to dazzle your taste buds.

Voilà! Your salmon cake balls are ready to steal the show, and that rosemary aioli? It's the crown jewel. Get ready for a flavor-packed fiesta!

Our Aloo Gobi recipe is perfect for vegetarians and pairs beautifully with both plant-based and animal proteins. With a side of fresh greens, you're in for a blood sugar-balanced dinner that's bound to leave your taste buds cheering.

Add your spice powders (coriander, cumin, turmeric, red chili), and don't forget the salt. Cook until the tomatoes turn soft and the oil begins to flirtatiously separate from them, about 4-5 minutes.

4. Cauliflower and potatoes, welcome to the stage! Add these lovely veggies along with the green chili pepper. Stir-fry them for around 4-5 minutes, ensuring all the flavors blend harmoniously.

5. Now, we're turning the heat down to low-medium, covering up, and letting the magic happen. Allow it to cook for approximately 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
