These easy and quick Chipotle Shrimp lettuce wraps are filled with tender shrimp, drizzled with a tangy avocado sauce, and wrapped in butter lettuce! It’s simple to make and can be made in under minutes!
I love marinades. They are just like slow cooker meals. Throw ingredients together and the rest will be taken care of. And this chipotle marinade does a job well done! A citrus marinade with chipotle for that nice kick. Just what you need for a lettuce taco fiesta night!
I love marinating the shrimp the night before and not having to worry about it until the next day. It’s o easy to make and takes little effort to mix together. If you are not a fan of shrimp, you can also try this with chicken or your favorite protein.
I have made this recipe many times and I just love how the marinade compliments the shrimp. I love that spicy but mellow citrus touch all char grilled on. And the avocado salsa on top helps bring everything together.
The butter lettuce is a nice healthy option but if you want to have the shrimp on tortillas or by themselves, those are also great options.
I hope you enjoy this as much as we do and would love to see your creation on Instagram or Facebook!
In a freezer bag, marinate the shrimp in the olive oil, chipotle powder, lemon pepper, garlic powder, parsley, and pepper flakes. Marinate at least 3 hours or overnight.
One hour before grilling, soak the skewers in water.
Skewer the shrimp, about 4-5 per skewer and grill on both sides until cooked through and slightly charred, about 3 minutes per side.
For the cream, combine the mashed avocado, sour cream, and lime juice together until a smooth consistency. If too think, add a teaspoon of water at a time until creamy. If too creamy, add more sour cream.
Serve the shrimp on top of the butter lettuce with the cream and choice of toppings. Serve with your preferred side choice.
