Ingredients

1 lb Shrimp -removed veins and tails
2 tbsp Olive Oil -divided
2 tsp Garlic -minced
2 tsp Seasonings
Lettuce -Bibb, Butter, or Romaine
1 Avocado -chopped or sliced

Instructions

Prepare the shrimp by removing the tails and veins. I like to rinse my shrimp as well. Place the shrimp in a large zip top bag(s) or similar container.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together one tablespoon of the olive oil with the minced garlic and seasonings. Pour this over the shrimp, zip the top of the bag, and toss as needed to cover the shrimp. Then refrigerate the bag with the shrimp for at least 20 minutes.
When you are ready to cook the shrimp, heat the remaining olive oil in large skillet. Cook the shrimp until they turn pink, flipping as needed, (should take about four to five minutes)
To assemble your wraps simply place the cooked shrimp with the other ingredients on top of lettuce leaves. Add the remaining and any optional ingredients as desired along with any additional seasonings. Serve with low carb salad dressing or dipping sauce or as desired

Recipe Notes

I mentioned that using bibb or butter lettuce is best as these varieties of lettuce are both large enough and sturdy enough to hold on to the ingredients. Also, not over-packing the wraps and making a pocket with the bottom of the lettuce helps to keep the wraps from falling apart.

Also mentioned was a recipe for a simple, yet optional, peanut sauce.

Simply whisk or blend together ½ cup of creamy peanut butter, ¼ cup of water, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, ½ tablespoon of ginger, 2 teaspoons of minced garlic, and 2 teaspoons of rice vinegar (adjust with sugar alternative, maple syrup or honey as needed).
