Ingredients

For the shrimp:

  • 1 pound medium raw shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails off
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon salt

For the lettuce wraps:

  • 12 pieces Bibb lettuce
  • 1 avocado, thin sliced
  • 1 large diced tomato
  • 1/4 cup Sour cream
  • Cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

To make the shrimp:

  1. Add the shrimp to a large bowl along with the lime juice, olive oil, garlic, chili powder, onion powder, cumin, and salt, and stir well to coat the shrimp.
  2. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. 
  3. Remove the shrimp from the refrigerator and arrange shrimp in a single layer in the basket of an air fryer. You may need to work in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
  4. Air fry at 400 degrees for 8 minutes or until cooked through.

To assemble lettuce wraps:

  1. Divide the shrimp amongst the lettuce and top with sliced avocado, diced tomato, a drizzle of sour cream, and cilantro. 

Notes

A pound of medium shrimp will be about 45-50 shrimps. We add 3-4 shrimp per lettuce wrap, making about 12 lettuce wraps or 3 per serving.

If you're starting with pre-cooked shrimp, follow the recipe but cook for just 4-5 minutes to warm it through.
