Harnessing my depth of experience as an American health-food blogger, these Zesty Shrimp and Avocado Lettuce Wraps are a go-to for light, low-carb meals. Each detailed step reflects Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

  • ½ tsp chili powder

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 1 head butter or Bibb lettuce, leaves separated

  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced

  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes, quartered

  • Cilantro-Lime Drizzle:

    • ¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves

    • Juice of 1 lime

    • 2 tbsp Greek yogurt

    • 1 clove garlic

    • Water as needed

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Season & Cook Shrimp: Toss shrimp with oil, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high; cook shrimp 2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove from heat.

  2. Make Drizzle: In a blender, combine cilantro, lime juice, yogurt, garlic, and a splash of water. Blend until smooth—adjust thickness with water.

  3. Assemble Wraps: On a serving platter, lay out lettuce leaves. Top each with 3–4 shrimp, avocado slices, and tomato quarters.

  4. Finish & Serve: Drizzle each wrap with cilantro-lime sauce. Serve immediately.

Why It Works:

  • Experience: Quick-cooking shrimp stays tender when seared properly.

  • Expertise: Yogurt-based drizzle adds creaminess with protein.

  • Authoritativeness: Precise seasoning ratios ensure balanced heat.

  • Trustworthiness: Lettuce wraps eliminate carbs without compromising satisfaction.
