Cilantro Lime Shrimp Wraps

Healthy and really good.  It is a taste of the islands.  Yummy!  For this you will need:
1lb. of shrimp, peeled deveined and chopped into chunks
1 TBSP olive oil
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
juice from one or two fresh limes (about 3 TBSP)
1/2 Cup cilantro leaves, chopped
2 TBSP butter
5 large tortillas (I preferred wheat)
1 avocado, pitted and sliced in this slices
1 head romaine lettuce chopped
1/2 red onion, peeled and cut in thin half moons
 
1.)  Place a large skillet over medium heat and pour in the olive oil. Carefully place the shrimp into the hot skillet and cook for a few minutes on each side.
2.)  Reduce the heat slightly and put the minced garlic in the skillet. Cook the garlic for about 30 seconds, or until aromatic, and then add the lime juice. (If the garlic starts to brown too quickly, add the lime juice immediately to reduce the heat.) Cook for another minute and then take the skillet off the heat. 
3.)  Add the cilantro and butter to the skillet and stir until it’s melted. Remove from heat.
4.)  Down the center of each wrap, place a few slices of avocado.  Add some lettuce and some onion slices.  Top with a healthy spoonful of shrimp and juice.  
5.)  Roll up, rolling in the sides of the tortilla to form the wrap.
