Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, black pepper, and lime juice to create a marinade.

Rinse and pat dry the butter lettuce leaves. Lay them out flat to use as taco wraps.
Assemble the tacos by placing a few cooked prawns onto each lettuce leaf. Top with sliced avocado, red onion, chopped cilantro, and a drizzle of Whole30-approved hot sauce.
