Directions
Step 1
Prepare the shrimp by peeling and deveining them, then rinse and pat dry.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using).

Step 5
To assemble the sandwiches, lay out the romaine lettuce leaves, using two leaves per sandwich as a base.
Step 6
Place a few slices of avocado on each lettuce leaf base, followed by tomato slices and a few rings of red onion.
Step 7
Top with a portion of the cooked shrimp on each lettuce base.
Step 8
Fold the lettuce leaf over to form a pocket or secure with a toothpick if necessary. Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 compliant shrimp sandwiches!
