Cajun Shrimp Burrito

I love love love shrimp. Especially in the summer! One of my favorite ways to prepare it is with a cajun seasoning. I’ve been in the mood for SIMPLE meals. Dare I say it… but I think I’m getting a bit burnt out on cooking! Or I guess I should say, my creative juices haven’t been flowing. That’s okay though, sometimes the simple meals are the absolute best. That leads me to this recipe… super simple, but packed full of flavor. Let’s get to it!

Ingredients -

1 lb. raw shrimp

1 tbsp. cajun creole seasoning

1/2 tsp. salt

1 tbsp. avocado oil

1 avocado

Juice of 1 lime

1/8 cup (loosely packed) fresh cilantro

1/4 tsp. cumin powder

1/8 white onion chopped

Cherry tomatoes chopped into quarters

Butter Lettuce

2 sprouted whole grain tortillas (or tortillas of choice!)

Instructions -

Peel shrimp and place in a bowl. Use a paper towel to gently press on the shrimp to absorb some of the moisture. Place the cajun creole seasoning and 1/4 tsp. salt in with the shrimp and mix until each shrimp is coated evenly. In a large cast iron skillet heat the avocado oil over medium high heat. When the oil is hot (a good way to test this is drip water in it, if it sizzles it is ready) place half of the shrimp in the skillet. Let simmer for about 3 minutes, and then flip to let cook 3 more minutes on the other side. Don’t overcook or the shrimp will be chewy! Once the first half is done cook the rest the same way then set aside for later use.

When the shrimp is done take the skillet off of the heat and put the tortillas on the pan to heat them up. Make the guacamole by placing the avocado, lime juice, white onion, 1/4 tsp. salt, cumin powder, and cilantro in a bowl. Mix together.

Take the tortillas off the heat and layer with guacamole, tomatoes, shrimp, and shredded lettuce. If you make this recipe, be sure to share & tag me on Instagram so I can see!
