Spicy Shrimp Avocado Wraps

This has become one of our favorite meals! I found this recipe on pinterest, but tweaked it a little to make it a little less spicy. It's still pretty darn spicy though. 

Ingredients:

2 lbs extra large shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 head of  boston lettuce, rinsed and leaves separated (we've also used romaine leaves)

2 jalapeno peppers

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 Tbs. cumin powder

1/2 Tbs. black peppercorns

3/4 C. chopped cilantro

4 Tbs. EVOO, plus 1 Tbs.

1  1/2 red bell peppers, diced 

2 avocados, diced

1 lime, sliced in wedges

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the peppers with EVOO. Roast for 20 minutes, or until charred on all sides. Remove from heat and let cool. Slice of the stems

In small bowl, add cumin, garlic and peppercorn with 1/2 Tbs. EVOO and grind. 

This is when I remove a little bit with 6 shrimp and add a little cilantro for my son. No jalapeno's for him. 

Back to the seasoning, toss in the jalapenos and grind them up. Then add in the cilantro and EVOO and grind some more. Toss in the shrimp. I do this in the morning and let marinate all day. 

Heat a skillet over medium-high. Cook shrimp in a single layer and sear 2 minutes. Flip and sear 30 more seconds. Remove from pan and set aside. Once the shrimp is cooked add in the red bell pepper and saute 2 minutes. Remove and add to the shrimp. 

To prepare add the shrimp and pepper mix to a lettuce cup. Add avocado and squeeze a little lime juice on. Enjoy! 

Spicy Chickamole

I tasked hubby with naming this and that is what he gave me. So Spicy Chickamole it is!

4 chicken breasts

3 Tbs. EVOO

1/2 Tbs. cayenne pepper

1/2. Tbs. garlic powder

1/2 Tbs. onion powder

1/2 of a lime, juiced

8 slices of bacon

guacamole ( I don't have a recipe yet)

Directions:

Mix EVOO, seasonings and lime juice together. Rub on chicken breasts and let them marinate for at least 30 mins. I do this in the morning and let them marinate all day. 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In skillet, cook bacon to desired crispiness. After bacon is done. Sear each side of chicken for 3-4 mins. Then place in a baking dish in the oven. Bake for 20 mins or until done, it depends on how thick your chicken is. 

When chicken is done, top with bacon and guacamole. Enjoy!
