Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 400 grams large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 4 large flour tortillas about 25 cm each
  • 80 grams lettuce, shredded
  • 1 medium tomato, diced
  • 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 120 grams plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill or parsley, chopped

Equipment

  • 1 large skillet or frying pan
  • 1 spatula or tongs
  • 2 mixing bowls
  • 1 cutting board
  • 1 measuring spoons
  • 1 paper towels

Method
 

  1. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. In a mixing bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove from heat.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and fresh dill or parsley. Set aside.
  4. Lay out the flour tortillas. Spread a spoonful of yogurt sauce onto each tortilla.
  5. Divide the shredded lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and red onion evenly among the wraps.
  6. Top each tortilla with cooked shrimp.
  7. Drizzle with additional yogurt sauce if desired.
  8. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll up tightly from the bottom to form a wrap.
  9. Serve immediately, or wrap in parchment for an on-the-go meal.

Notes

You can substitute corn tortillas or whole wheat tortillas as preferred.
Add thinly sliced avocado or diced jalapeño for extra flavor.
For a spicier version, add a dash of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the yogurt sauce.
Use precooked shrimp to save time, but reduce the sautéing step to just warming them through.
