Ingredients

• 250 grams Fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 4 pieces Whole-grain bread slices
• 1 large Avocado
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 medium Tomato, sliced
• 4 leaves Leaf lettuce
• 1 tablespoon Dill, fresh and chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine shrimp, lemon juice, olive oil, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well to coat the shrimp and let it marinate for 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.

Step 2

Preheat a grill or a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and opaque. Remove from the heat and set aside.

Step 3

While the shrimp is cooking, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Add lime juice and mash until smooth. Add a pinch of black pepper to taste.

Step 4

Toast the whole-grain bread slices until golden brown.

Step 5

To assemble the sandwich, spread a generous amount of the mashed avocado on each slice of toasted bread.

Step 6

Layer each sandwich with leaf lettuce, tomato slices, cooked shrimp, red onion slices, and a sprinkle of fresh dill.

Step 7

Top with another slice of bread, cut in half if desired, and serve immediately, enjoying the freshness and flavor-packed low sodium creation.
