-2 green onions, diced
-1 can water chestnuts, drained and chopped
-1 head iceberg lettuce, cored, cut in half
Directions:
In a medium bowl, combine lime juice, 2 Tbs oil, 1 Tbs soy sauce, ginger and garlic.  Add shrimp and let marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Heat 1 Tbs oil in skillet.  Add pepper, onions and chestnuts.  Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Add shrimp and marinade, and cook for 3 more minutes, or until shrimp gets pink.  Stir in 1 Tbs soy sauce.
Divide lettuce into leaves.  Spoon about 1/4 cup shrimp mixture in the center of lettuce leaf.  Fold bottom edge and sides up and over filling.  Enjoy!
