Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Place the shrimp in a bowl.
Add avocado oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt to the shrimp. Mix well to ensure all shrimp are coated with the seasoning.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned shrimp to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.
Lay out the romaine lettuce leaves on a clean surface. These leaves will serve as the 'bread' for your sandwich.
Divide the cooked shrimp evenly among the lettuce leaves.
Place slices of avocado, tomato, and red onion on top of the shrimp.
Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the top for a fresh burst of flavor.
Fold the lettuce leaves over the filling if they are large enough, or serve open-faced. Secure with toothpicks if needed to hold the sandwich shape.
Serve immediately for the freshest taste. Enjoy your healthy, Paleo Classic Shrimp Sandwich!
