Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 large whole wheat tortilla wraps
- 2 cups romaine lettuce (chopped)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1 medium cucumber (diced)
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill (chopped)
- 0.25 medium red onion (thinly sliced, optional)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel and toss them in a large bowl with the olive oil, minced garlic, and spice mixture until evenly coated.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until the shrimp are pink and fully cooked. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and chopped dill. This will be the tangy yogurt sauce for your wraps.
To assemble the wraps, place a whole wheat tortilla on a flat surface and spread 1-2 tablespoons of the yogurt sauce on the center of the tortilla.
Layer the tortilla with romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and optional red onion slices. Top with several cooked shrimp.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly into a wrap.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and ingredients. Serve immediately, or wrap tightly in parchment paper to enjoy later.
