Method

Shrimp Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine the shrimp, lime juice, minced garlic, olive oil, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook Shrimp

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.

Burrito Assembly

  1. 3

    Prepare Tortillas

    Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until pliable.

  2. 4

    Assemble Burritos

    On each tortilla, layer shredded lettuce, cooked shrimp, diced avocado, chopped cilantro, a dollop of sour cream, and salsa. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll it tightly from the bottom up.

  3. 5

    Serve

    Cut the burritos in half and serve immediately, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
