Description
Flavorful, low-carb shrimp taco lettuce wraps are packed with succulent shrimp, zesty seasoning, creamy avocado, and fresh toppings, all neatly wrapped in crisp lettuce leaves for a satisfying Tex-Mex meal.
Ingredients
1 lb (16 oz) shrimp, peeled and deveined, cooked or uncooked
2 tbsp taco seasoning (non-alcoholic, halal option)
8 large lettuce leaves (romaine or butter lettuce)
2 medium avocados, halved or sliced
2 limes, sliced and juiced
1/4 cup sliced red onion (or green onions)
2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
1 medium tomato, diced (optional)
1 tsp oil (e.g., olive or avocado oil)
Instructions
Wash and pat dry the lettuce leaves.
Halve or slice the avocados and set them aside in lime juice to prevent browning.
Thinly slice red onion and let sit for 5 minutes to reduce sharpness.
In a skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tsp oil and cook shrimp for 2-3 minutes until fully pink. Season with taco seasoning during cooking.
Divide 4 pieces of shrimp and avocado slices per lettuce wrap.
Sprinkle with cilantro, red onion, and optional tomato before folding to serve.
Garnish with lime slices and extra lime juice.
Notes
Use pre-cooked shrimp to save preparation time.
To balance flavors, serve with homemade salsa or hot sauce (non-spicy for milder taste).
Add pickled jalapeños for an extra kick.
Butter lettuce is ideal for a creamier texture in wraps.
