  • For the lettuce wraps:
  • 2 leaves of romaine lettuce (try to find bigger, leafier heads of romain that have the larger outer leaves – these will work better). Cut off the top of the romaine leaf and just use that, discarding the light green, crunchy bottom
  • 1/2 avocado, thinly sliced
  • 1 jalapeno, very thinly sliced (optional topping)

  3. 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
  4. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with 1 teaspoon of olive oil
  5. When hot, add the shrimp to the skillet and sear on both sides until cooked through
  6. 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
