Juicy watermelon, chilled shrimp, cucumber, lime, and cilantro create a bright sweet-heat appetizer served in crisp lettuce cups.

Ingredients

• 1 packet Dixie Fixins Jalapeno Watermelon Dip Mix, dry

• 1 pound cooked medium shrimp, peeled, tails removed, and chopped

• 2 cups seedless watermelon, cut into small cubes

• 1 cup cucumber, seeded and diced

• 1/3 cup finely diced red onion

• 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro

• 1/3 cup fresh lime juice

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 8 to 10 butter-lettuce leaves

• Lime wedges for serving

Directions

1. Whisk the dry Jalapeno Watermelon Dip Mix, lime juice, and olive oil in a large bowl.

2. Add shrimp, watermelon, cucumber, red onion, and cilantro. Fold gently until evenly coated.

3. Cover and refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes.

4. Drain off excess liquid if necessary. Spoon the mixture into lettuce leaves and serve with lime wedges.

Dixie Fixins Tip: Add the watermelon shortly before chilling so it stays firm. For individual party servings, use small romaine hearts or endive leaves.
Storage: Keep refrigerated and use within 24 hours. Do not freeze.
