Keto Shrimp Avocado Lettuce Boats
Ingredients:
- 300–400 g cooked shrimp (peeled & deveined)
- 1–2 ripe avocados
- 1 small clove garlic (minced)
- 1–2 tbsp mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for lighter version)
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon or lime juice
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt & black pepper to taste
- 1/2 tsp paprika or chili flakes (optional for a kick)
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
For the “boats”:
- 1 head romaine lettuce or butter lettuce (washed & separated into leaves)
Instructions:
- Prepare the shrimp If not already cooked, sauté shrimp in olive oil for 2–3 minutes per side until pink. Let cool slightly, then chop into bite-sized pieces if desired.
- Make the avocado mixture In a bowl, mash the avocados. Add garlic, lemon/lime juice, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix until creamy but still slightly chunky.
- Combine Fold in the shrimp and chopped herbs. Mix gently so the shrimp stays intact.
- Assemble the boats Spoon the shrimp-avocado mixture into each lettuce leaf.
- Serve immediately Optional: drizzle with extra lime juice or sprinkle chili flakes on top for extra flavor.
Result:
Crisp lettuce, creamy avocado, and juicy shrimp in every bite — fresh, light, and perfectly keto-friendly.
