Ingredients

1.5 lb raw shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 teaspoons ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

2 cloves fresh garlic, minced

2 tablespoons avocado oil or extra-virgin olive oil, divided

Sea salt, to taste

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

2 fresh limes

Handful of fresh cilantro leaves, chopped

810 romaine or butter lettuce leaves, rinsed and pat dried

1 large avocado, diced

1 red chili, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Pat shrimp dry and place them in a bowl.
  2. Season with cumin, smoked paprika, garlic, salt, and pepper, then drizzle with half the avocado oil and toss to coat.
  3. Heat remaining oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side until pink and cooked through.
  4. Squeeze lime juice over shrimp and toss with chopped cilantro.
  5. Arrange lettuce leaves on a platter and fill each one with shrimp.
  6. Top with diced avocado and thinly sliced red chili. Serve immediately.

Notes

Grill the shrimp instead of pan-searing for smoky flavor.

Top with Greek yogurt, sour cream, or cheese for extra creaminess.

For more crunch, add shredded cabbage or sliced radishes.

Adjust spice level with more or less red chili, or drizzle hot sauce on top.

Keep toppings and lettuce separate if prepping ahead for freshness.
