Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams raw shrimp
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 8 large leaves romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 unit ripe avocado, sliced
- 1 unit tomato, sliced
- 0.5 unit red onion, thinly sliced
Instructions
Prepare the shrimp by peeling and deveining them, then rinse and pat dry.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using).
Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly in the marinade. Let them marinate for about 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are pink and opaque. Remove from heat.
To assemble the sandwiches, lay out the romaine lettuce leaves, using two leaves per sandwich as a base.
Place a few slices of avocado on each lettuce leaf base, followed by tomato slices and a few rings of red onion.
Top with a portion of the cooked shrimp on each lettuce base.
Fold the lettuce leaf over to form a pocket or secure with a toothpick if necessary. Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 compliant shrimp sandwiches!
