Ingredients
For the Shrimp Fajitas:
1/2 pound (225g) shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 bell pepper (any color), sliced
1/2 medium onion, sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Guacamole:
1 ripe avocado
1/4 cup diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

Directions
In a bowl, combine the shrimp, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until the shrimp are evenly coated with the spices.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell pepper, onion, and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the seasoned shrimp. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
Meanwhile, prepare the guacamole. In a small bowl, mash the avocado with a fork until smooth. Add diced tomatoes, chopped onion, lime juice, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
To serve, take a large lettuce leaf and spoon some shrimp fajita mixture onto it. Top with guacamole and roll it up like a taco or burrito.
Repeat the process for the remaining lettuce leaves and fillings.
Enjoy your delicious low-carb, high-protein Shrimp Fajitas with lettuce wraps and a side of guacamole!
