Give these shrimp and mango lettuce boats a try, they are SO delicious and ridiculously easy to make.
This tasty meal is full of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, protein, healthy fats, and detoxifying properties. Cilantro binds to and removes heavy metals from the body, while apple cider vinegar helps with digestion and aids in weight loss. Add in garlic & ginger for immune boosting, you have a powerhouse meal. 🙂
You can sub out shrimp and use another protein like chicken, or tempeh for a vegetarian option.

Add broccoli slaw to the shrimp, and add all other ingredients tossing with a large spoon to mix. Add sauce, and spoon mixture onto lettuce leaves. Enjoy!
