Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 pieces large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium cucumber, julienned
- 1 large avocado, sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 4 pieces whole wheat tortillas
- 2 cups mixed salad greens
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp with olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the shrimp evenly.
Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for about 2 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside to cool slightly.
Lay one whole wheat tortilla on a clean surface. Place 1/2 cup of mixed salad greens in the center of the tortilla.
Top the greens with 4 cooked shrimp, a few slices of avocado, some julienned cucumber, and a sprinkle of chopped fresh dill.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly from the bottom, ensuring all the fillings are secured inside.
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
Slice each roll in half diagonally and serve immediately for a fresh Mediterranean-inspired appetizer or lunch.
