Tender Sriracha shrimp nested in crisp Bibb lettuce with lightly sweet cilantro-lime rice, fresh veggies, and bright green onions — this dish is so light and simple, and yet it packs in a bunch of flavors and textures. We like to make it for lunch, especially when we’re celebrating something, like a birthday or anniversary: it’s impressive and fun, but it won’t bog down the afternoon.

The little wraps are very pretty composed on a platter, but you can also put the ingredients in small bowls and let your family build their own wraps. If you go that route, you might want to add more options, like crushed peanuts or sliced radishes.

Our tip: The exciting ingredient in this dish, the key to its kick, is McCormick Gourmet Sriracha Seasoning. It has all the salty, sweet, tang, and smoke we love about the traditional sauce, but concentrated into a super intense, bright red powder. We’ve been shaking it over popcorn, rubbing it into our steaks, and sprinkling it on deviled eggs — basically, it goes anywhere we’d normally use a little paprika. It’s so versatile!
