Directions:
STEP 1
Wash, peel and cut carrots, cucumber, and bell pepper in a julienne style. Peel, core, and slice avocado in thin slices. Wash microgreens and set all vegetables aside. Peel and mince garlic and place in a small dish. Wash and strain lettuce and set aside.
STEP 2
Rinse chicken breast and shrimp in separate colanders and set aside.
STEP 3
In a large pot, add water and boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, add vermicelli noodles and cook according to package, approximately 10 – 12 minutes. Drain and transfer noodles to a strainer and cool them before setting them aside.
STEP 4
While the noodles are boiling using a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and chicken breast and cook for approximately 5 – 7 minutes on each side until the internal temperature reaches 165F. Once the chicken breast is cooked, set aside on a cutting board to slice lengthwise.
STEP 5
Add olive oil, garlic, and shrimp using the same skillet on medium heat. Cook for approximately 3 – 4 minutes on each side. Set aside once cooked.
STEP 6
Assemble all the ingredients into a lettuce wrap. Place two large butter lettuce leaves together, overlapping each other on a plate and add a small section of vermicelli noodles, length wise down the middle.
STEP 7
Then, layering a small amount of julienned veggies on top of each other to create a complex taste in each bite. Top with shrimp and chicken and garnish with the microgreens. When finished adding the filings, carefully drizzle the preferred sauce.
