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)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Layer the tortilla with romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and optional red onion slices. Top with several cooked shrimp.

Step 7

Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly into a wrap.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining tortillas and ingredients. Serve immediately, or wrap tightly in parchment paper to enjoy later.
