When the shrimp are pink and opaque, add the marinated shrimp to the skillet and cook for two to three minutes on each side

Take out of the skillet and reserve the cooked shrimp

Add the sliced red onion and bell pepper to the same skillet

Pour the remaining marinade over the mango and vegetables after adding the diced mango to the skillet

Stir-fry for a further two to three minutes

To serve, top a lettuce leaf with a spoonful of the mango and vegetable mixture, cooked shrimp, and chopped cilantro and sesame seeds

If necessary, secure the lettuce leaf with toothpicks as you wrap it around the filling
