Ingredients

• 250 grams medium shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.25 teaspoon chili powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 small whole wheat tortillas
• 60 grams low-fat plain Greek yogurt
• 1 jalapeño (finely diced, seeds removed for less heat)
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 100 grams romaine lettuce (shredded)
• 100 grams cherry tomatoes (quartered)
• 50 grams red onion (thinly sliced)
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel. Toss the shrimp in the spice mix until evenly coated.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, finely diced jalapeño, and lime juice to create the spicy yogurt sauce. Adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt if desired.

Step 5

Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 20-30 seconds on each side, or until pliable.

Step 6

To assemble each burrito, spread a tablespoon of the yogurt sauce over the center of the tortilla. Top with a handful of shredded lettuce, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cooked shrimp, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.

Step 7

Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it tightly from the bottom to create the burrito shape.

Step 8

Serve immediately with any leftover yogurt sauce for dipping or drizzle over the burritos as desired.
