Perfect Basil Avocado Shrimp Salad Wraps & Sweet Potato Chips Recipe Tips
Fresh Ingredients: The flavor and texture of the basil, avocado, and shrimp are pretty gone if you use fresh ingredients.
Select Your Lettuce: Use butter lettuce, romaine or iceberg leaves — they are strong enough to hold everything but still offer some needed crunch.
Slice Sweet Potatoes Thin: To get crispy chips, make sure the slices are super thin and even. A mandoline slicer is the key to getting something that looks like this and taking just 10–12 minutes on low until you see them get melty.
Serve Right Away: The Basil Avocado Shrimp wrap Sweet Potato Chips salad is the most delicious right when fresh and the avocado maintains the best coloring and creamy texture.
Make Them Ahead: Arguably a perfect make-ahead lunch, the shrimp salad with all its fixings keeps up to five days in an air-tight container and can be taken as leftovers between lettuce leaves.
