Carb Conscious? This is for you!

Hello followers, all 14 of you! :)  Hope everyone has had a great week and is having a great Friday!  Here is a great recipe for a Friday night, its so quick and so easy.  You can throw it together quickly and then still go out and have a great time tonight.  Give yourself about 30 min total, I promise you won't be disappointed!  You could throw all sorts of veggies in here too if you wanted, water chestnuts, snap peas, edamame, ect.  I've made lots of different variations of lettuce wraps, but I have to say this is my fave!  It has a very refreshing and different flavor, however if you want to really round out the flavor and texture add a handful of peanuts it adds a great taste and crunch.  ENJOY!
