Ingredients
- 6 - 8 ounces tuna in olive oil or water
- 1/4 shallot

- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 wedge lemon
- ½ - 1 teaspoon blackened seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon salt and pepper

Instructions
- Add tuna to your mixing bowl.
- Chop about ¼ of a shallot to get about 2 tablespoons of finely diced shallot. Add it to the mixing bowl.
- Chop the celery stalk into small pieces to get about 2 tablespoons of chopped celery. Add it to the mixing bowl.
- Add the remaining ingredients: mayo, lemon juice, blackened seasoning and a bit of salt and pepper. (Tip: Start with ½ teaspoon of blackened seasoning, then taste. Add more to increase the spiciness.)
- Place your lettuce leaves on a platter and gently spoon some of the tuna salad into each lettuce cup. You can garnish with a little more blackened seasoning and come chopped celery. Eat the lettuce cups as you would a taco.
