Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked shrimp (peeled, deveined, and chopped)
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup celery (finely diced)
- 0.25 cup red onion (finely diced)
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 whole pita pockets
- 4 whole lettuce leaves
- 8 slices tomato slices (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked shrimp, mayonnaise, and Greek yogurt. Stir until well blended.
Step 2
Add the diced celery, red onion, and fresh dill to the bowl. Mix until evenly distributed.
Step 3
Stir in the lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Step 4
Cut each pita pocket in half to create 8 halves.
Step 5
Line the inside of each pita half with a lettuce leaf. This prevents the bread from becoming soggy.
Step 6
Spoon the shrimp salad into each pita half, dividing evenly among them.
Step 7
For extra flavor and texture, add a slice of tomato to each pita half, if desired.
Step 8
Serve immediately, or wrap pitas in foil or parchment paper and refrigerate until ready to serve.
