Ingredients:
- 1.5 lbs of raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tsp of ground cumin
- 1 tsp of smoked paprika
- 2 cloves of fresh garlic, minced
- 2 Tbsp of avocado oil or extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 fresh limes
- A handful of fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
- 8-10 romaine or butter lettuce leaves, rinsed and patted dry
- 1 large avocado, diced
- 1 red chili, thinly sliced
Instructions:
- Preparation: In a large glass bowl, combine the shrimp, cumin, paprika, garlic, juice of one lime, and 1 tablespoon of oil. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to your preference. Stir thoroughly to ensure the shrimp are well-coated. For enhanced flavor, cover and refrigerate to marinate for about 15 minutes.
- Cooking the Shrimp: Heat the remaining oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook until they turn pink, which should take approximately 3-4 minutes. Avoid overcooking to maintain the shrimp’s tenderness.
- Assembling the Wrap: In a large bowl, gently mix the cooked shrimp, diced avocado, chopped cilantro, slices of red chili, juice of the remaining lime, and the leftover oil. Taste and adjust the seasoning with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper if needed.
- Serving: Lay out the lettuce leaves and spoon the shrimp mixture onto each leaf. Wrap them up to enclose the filling.
