Ingredients

• 1 pound Raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons Avocado oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 pieces Coconut flour tortillas or Paleo tortillas
• 1 large Avocado, thinly sliced
• 1 cup Lettuce leaves, shredded
• 0.5 cup Red cabbage, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 4 pieces Lime wedges
• 0.5 cup Homemade salsa or Paleo-approved store-bought salsa
• 0.25 cup Coconut cream (optional, for drizzle)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the garlic powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Add the raw shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly with the spice mixture.

Step 3

Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are pink and fully cooked. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Warm the coconut flour tortillas in a dry skillet for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until pliable and slightly toasted.

Step 5

Assemble the burrito: Lay a tortilla flat and layer it with shredded lettuce, red cabbage, avocado slices, and cooked shrimp. Add a spoonful of salsa and sprinkle with fresh cilantro. Drizzle with coconut cream if desired, and squeeze a lime wedge over the fillings.

Step 6

Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly into a burrito shape.

Step 7

Repeat the assembly process with the remaining tortillas and fillings.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your spicy Paleo shrimp burritos!
