Description

The Spicy Shrimp Wrap is a flavorful and quick meal, combining crispy shrimp with a creamy, spicy cilantro sauce, fresh spinach, and warm tortillas for a perfect balance of heat and freshness.


Ingredients

1 lb shrimp, peeled

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp chili powder

1 tsp garlic powder

Salt & pepper

1/2 cup Greek yogurt

1 tbsp lime juice

1 tsp sriracha

4 flour tortillas

Fresh spinach

Cilantro sauce mix (Greek yogurt, lime juice, sriracha)


Instructions

  1. Season shrimp with paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a pan and sauté shrimp until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  2. In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, lime juice, and sriracha to create a creamy, spicy sauce.
  3. Warm the flour tortillas in a skillet or microwave. Add a layer of fresh spinach to each tortilla, then top with cooked shrimp. Drizzle with the cilantro sauce and wrap it up.
  4. Enjoy the wraps immediately, savoring the combination of crispy shrimp, creamy sauce, and fresh vegetables.

Notes

  • Vegetarian Option: Substitute the shrimp with grilled vegetables or tofu for a vegetarian version of this wrap.
  • Spicier: Add more sriracha or a diced jalapeño to the sauce for an extra kick.
  • Different Protein: Swap shrimp with chicken or fish, depending on your preference.
  • Wrap Variations: Use different types of wraps such as whole wheat, spinach, or gluten-free tortillas for a healthier alternative.
  • Storage: If you have leftovers, store the shrimp wraps separately from the sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. The tortillas may become soggy if left with the sauce for too long.
  • Reheating: To reheat, place the wraps in a skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side or microwave for 30-45 seconds until warmed through.
