Keto Garlic Butter Shrimp Lettuce Wraps

Why this?
This dish creatively transforms shrimp into a light, flavorful keto dinner by using fresh lettuce leaves instead of tortillas or rice, which are high in carbs. The garlic butter sauce enhances the shrimp's natural sweetness without overpowering it, while the avocado adds creaminess and healthy fats. It's a perfect low-carb, high-protein meal that satisfies dinner cravings with vibrant, fresh flavors.

Ingredients:

12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

Salt and pepper to taste

4 large lettuce leaves (such as romaine or butter lettuce)

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1/4 cup diced avocado

Preparation Steps:

Rinse the shrimp and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a bowl, toss shrimp with smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the shrimp and cook for 2 minutes on each side until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp and set aside.
In the same skillet, add butter and garlic; sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Return shrimp to the skillet and toss with garlic butter sauce for another minute.
Remove from heat and stir in lime juice and chopped cilantro.
To assemble, place shrimp in each lettuce leaf, top with diced avocado, and wrap.
Serve immediately for a fresh, flavorful keto-friendly dinner.
