Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 medium shrimp
- 8 butter lettuce leaves
- 1 medium carrot
- 0.5 medium cucumber
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 16 fresh mint leaves
- 16 sprigs fresh cilantro
- 1 medium avocado
- 1 medium lime
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the shrimp. Peel and devein the shrimp, then pat dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss the shrimp in the mixture until well-coated.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables. Julienne the carrot, cucumber, and bell pepper into thin strips.
Halve and pit the avocado, then slice into thin strips. Squeeze the juice of half a lime over the avocado slices to prevent browning.
Fill a large bowl with warm water and gently wash the lettuce leaves to ensure they are clean. Pat them dry with paper towels.
To assemble the rolls, lay a lettuce leaf flat on a clean surface. Near one edge of the leaf, place 2 shrimp, a few strips of carrot, cucumber, bell pepper, and avocado, along with 2 mint leaves and 2 sprigs of cilantro.
Gently fold the sides of the lettuce over the filling and roll tightly to form a compact roll.
Repeat with remaining ingredients to make a total of 8 summer rolls.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for drizzling. Enjoy your refreshing Whole30 Shrimp Summer Rolls!
