Ingredients

• 1 pound Raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons Avocado oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
• 8 leaves Butterhead lettuce leaves (or any large-leaf lettuce)
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 whole Ripe avocado, sliced
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons Whole30-compliant hot sauce (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse and pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the avocado oil, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, cumin, sea salt, and fresh lime juice. Stir to create a marinade.

Step 3

Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Let the shrimp sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 4

While the shrimp marinates, prepare the lettuce wraps by gently washing the lettuce leaves and patting them dry. Arrange them on a large serving tray.

Step 5

Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink and fully cooked through. Remove from heat.

Step 6

Assemble each burrito by layering a lettuce leaf with cooked shrimp, sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and chopped cilantro. Add a drizzle of Whole30-compliant hot sauce if desired.

Step 7

Roll the lettuce leaf up gently, tucking in the sides to form a burrito shape. Repeat for the remaining ingredients.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Spicy Shrimp Burrito!
