Instructions
- Toss the shrimp in the sriracha, lime zest, garlic and extra virgin olive oil in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate while preparing the vegetables.
- Prepare the vegetables as described and chill while cooking the shrimp.
- Cook the shrimp outdoors in a grill pan, or on skewers with 1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil (if needed) over a med/hi fire, or if cooking indoors, in a large skillet with 1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil (if needed) over med/hi heat until the shrimp become pink, opaque and just cooked through- about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat, transfer to a platter to cool slightly. Peel if necessary and remove tails.
- While the shrimp cool, soften the spring roll wrappers in a bowl of warm water. Transfer wrappers to a plate (one at a time). Place 4 thin slices of California Avocados down the middle of the wrapper. Top with 1-2 pieces of lettuce, 5-10 cucumber matchsticks and 3 shrimp. Finish with a sprinkling of cilantro and plenty of lime juice. Wrap tightly, as you would a burrito or egg roll. -Enjoy as a light and flavorful summer treat!
*Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
