Big Explosion of Flavors and Textures

Here is a great little appetizer I adapted from a Thai cooking website to comply with O2 Lifestyle. Great to take to a party so you don't overindulge in the cheesy low ORAC stuff! Or eat 4 or 5 of them for a meal! Yummy! Big explosion of flavors and textures!

Miang Kum: Thai spinach wraps

Large spinach leaves (not baby leaves--bigger ones) or butter leaf lettuce leaves
chopped garlic
chopped pecans or pistachios or peanuts--or all 3
chopped ginger
baby shrimp or a little salmon--poached or smoked
toasted unsweetened coconut (I dry toast it in a skillet--super easy)
special sauce: fish sauce, powdered ginger, soy sauce, lime juice , coconut water, mixed to taste

assemble all of the ingredients in a lettuce or spinach leaf, top with some sauce and enjoy!
