Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp cayenne pepper
- 0.5 tsp ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp sea salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 8 leaves romaine lettuce leaves (large, for wraps)
- 1 whole ripe avocado, sliced
- 1 cup red cabbage, shredded
- 1 small carrot, julienned
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tbsp Whole30-compliant hot sauce (optional)
- 1 whole fresh lime, cut into wedges
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the raw shrimp, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, ground cumin, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly with the spices.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the avocado oil. Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet in a single layer.
Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the heat and set aside.
Prepare the romaine lettuce leaves by rinsing them thoroughly and patting them dry. These will serve as the 'wraps.'
Assemble the wraps: Place a few slices of avocado, some shredded red cabbage, and julienned carrots onto each romaine lettuce leaf. Top with 3-4 cooked shrimp.
Sprinkle fresh cilantro over the wraps and drizzle with Whole30-compliant hot sauce, if using. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top for added flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Spicy Shrimp Wraps!
