As easy to make as a sandwich (but so much better for you) these avocado shrimp lettuce wraps are a keto-dieter’s dream come true!
Avocado Lettuce Wraps
Do you like pad Thai? If you want a portable lunch that tastes like pad Thai and fits into your keto diet, then keep reading!
There are just 3 grams net carbs in each wrap! The filling avocado and tender shrimp are covered in a sticky-sweet and bold peanut sauce that makes every bite a pure treat and it takes like 10 minutes to make.
It’s a quick, easy, healthy, low-carb lunch that you’ll fall in love with.
Shrimp Lettuce Wraps
Save yourself time and pre-cook a bunch of shrimp on the weekend. Then, all you have to do is mix all the ingredients together, layer them on the lettuce, wrap them up, and eat!
Cooked shrimp will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to three days.
If you want to add shrimp lettuce wraps to your meal prep, I suggest storing the shrimp and seasoning separate from the sauce.
And don’t cut open the avocado until right before you add it to the lettuce. Avocado will turn brown and won’t look nearly as appetizing.
Keto Lunch Wraps
Since they are so easy to prepare, lettuce wraps are some of my favorite things to make for lunch on the keto diet. If you’re in the mood for Asian food, make some keto Thai ground turkey lettuce wraps.
Or make cilantro lime chicken lettuce wraps if you’re craving Tex-Mex. And you can never go wrong with keto steak fajitas lettuce wraps.
These shrimp lettuce wraps fit in better with Asian recipes and I like to make them when I’m in the mood for Chinese takeout.
What To Eat With Shrimp
Since these shrimp wraps have a Thai peanut flair to them, I would serve them with some cauliflower rice. But you also double the shrimp and make some bacon-wrapped shrimp on the side too.
Or mix up the flavors and make some cilantro lime cauliflower rice with avocado. Since it has avocado in it, the cauliflower rice will fill you up and give you a boost of healthy fats.
And you can never go wrong mirroring the Thai flavors with a bowl of creamy keto Thai chicken soup. It’s so rich and delicious!
Easy Keto Lunch
This is a super-simple and filling lunch that will make you glad you’re on the keto diet. Every ingredient will nourish your body and give you natural energy that lasts all day!
It’s also really easy to adjust to your tastes. If it isn’t spicy enough, add some Sriracha or more ginger paste. If you want it sweeter, add more sugar-free honey.
