Meanwhile, in a bowl, place the mayonnaise, yogurt, mustard, and ketchup and mix everything until it forms a cream.

Take the lettuce leaves, washing them thoroughly. Fill each leaf portion you want to make with the shrimp in sauce and chopped parsley.
Storage and tips for shrimp lettuce cups
If there are leftovers, they can be stored until the next day in an airtight food container. You can also prepare the sauce a day before and keep it in the refrigerator. To ensure the best results for this recipe, I want to give you some tips: choose the inner lettuce leaves because they are more robust. Instead of shrimp, you can use prawns or surimi.
