Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine smoked paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Add the raw shrimp to the spice mixture and toss well to coat evenly.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer.

Step 4

Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and are fully cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Stir well to evenly distribute the flavors.

Step 6

Warm the tortilla wraps briefly in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.

Step 7

To assemble the burritos, lay a tortilla flat and layer it with 1/4 of the cilantro-lime rice, cooked shrimp, avocado slices, fresh salsa, shredded lettuce, and red onion.

Step 8

Drizzle with hot sauce if desired and fold in the sides of the tortilla before rolling it up tightly into a burrito shape.

Step 9

Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and fillings.

Step 10

Serve immediately, or wrap tightly in foil to keep warm.
