- If using a frying pan: Heat a frying pan over medium high heat. Add shrimp and cook stirring every couple of minutes until the shrimp are cooked through, approximately 4 minutes. Take off the heat and cover with foil.
- Once the shrimp have cooled slightly, cut them into bite size pieces if the shrimp you bought are too large for the lettuce leaves.
