Ingredients
  

1 lb medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1 ripe avocado, diced

1 tablespoon lime juice

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 small jalapeño, seeded and finely diced (optional for heat)

1 head of butter lettuce or romaine, leaves separated

Lime wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Shrimp: In a medium bowl, toss the peeled and deveined shrimp with olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

    Cook the Shrimp: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and let them cool slightly.

      Prepare the Avocado Mixture: While the shrimp cooks, in another bowl, combine the diced avocado, lime juice, red onion, chopped cilantro, and jalapeño (if using). Stir gently to combine, being careful not to mash the avocado too much.

        Assemble the Wraps: To assemble, take a lettuce leaf and add a spoonful of the avocado mixture, then top it with a few shrimp.

          Serve: Garnish with extra lime wedges for squeezing over the wraps for added zest. Enjoy your refreshing and tasty shrimp and avocado lettuce wraps!
