- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

- For the lettuce wraps:

- Extra cilantro, chopped (optional topping)
Instructions
- Assemble the slaw first so that the flavors can be marrying together while you finish everything else.
- Combine the shredded cole slaw mix, lime juice, honey, and cilantro in a bowl – stir well until everything is completely mixed together. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside
- Stir together the cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Lay the shrimp out on a plate and season liberally on both sides with this seasoning mix
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with 1 teaspoon of olive oil
- When hot, add the shrimp to the skillet and sear on both sides until cooked through
- To assemble, add half the slaw to each romaine leaf, add half the avocado slices, 3 shrimp, a few jalapeños, and sprinkle of cilantro on top
