Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 8 leaves Butterhead lettuce leaves (or any large-leaf lettuce)
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 whole Ripe avocado, sliced
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Whole30-compliant hot sauce (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Rinse and pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the avocado oil, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, cumin, sea salt, and fresh lime juice. Stir to create a marinade.
Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Let the shrimp sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
While the shrimp marinates, prepare the lettuce wraps by gently washing the lettuce leaves and patting them dry. Arrange them on a large serving tray.
Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink and fully cooked through. Remove from heat.
Assemble each burrito by layering a lettuce leaf with cooked shrimp, sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and chopped cilantro. Add a drizzle of Whole30-compliant hot sauce if desired.
Roll the lettuce leaf up gently, tucking in the sides to form a burrito shape. Repeat for the remaining ingredients.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Spicy Shrimp Burrito!
