Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound raw large shrimp
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 4 flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded romaine lettuce
- 1 cup julienned carrots
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 sliced avocado
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and devein the shrimp if not done already. Pat them dry with paper towels.
In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with the olive oil, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until evenly coated.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are pink, opaque, and cooked through. Remove the skillet from heat and let the shrimp cool slightly.
While the shrimp are cooling, prepare the spicy sauce. In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, hot sauce, and lemon juice until smooth.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them pliable.
Assemble the wraps: Place a handful of shredded romaine lettuce onto the center of each tortilla. Add a few spoonfuls of julienned carrots, diced tomatoes, and slices of avocado. Top with the cooked shrimp.
Drizzle the spicy sauce over the filling and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly from the bottom to form a wrap.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Zydeco Shrimp Wraps!
