Ingredients

• Shrimp (peeled and deveined) - 300 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Cajun seasoning - 2 teaspoons
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Lettuce leaves (for wrapping) - 4 large leaves
• Avocado - 1 medium, sliced
• Cherry tomatoes - 100 grams, halved

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine the shrimp with olive oil, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly.
2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the seasoned shrimp. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
3. While the shrimp are cooking, prepare the lettuce leaves by rinsing and drying them. These will serve as the taco shells.
4. Once the shrimp are cooked, remove them from the heat and squeeze fresh lime juice over them.
5. Assemble the tacos by placing a few shrimp in each lettuce leaf. Top with sliced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped cilantro.
6. Serve immediately, garnished with additional lime wedges if desired.
