Instructions

Creating your Mediterranean Shrimp Wraps is straightforward and can be completed in just a few simple steps:

  1. Prepare the Shrimp:
    • In a large bowl, combine shrimp, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
    • Toss to coat the shrimp evenly and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Cook the Shrimp:
    • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
    • Add the marinated shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Prepare the Vegetables:
    • Dice the cucumbers and tomatoes, and slice the red onion thinly.
    • In a bowl, mix the vegetables together with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. Assemble the Wraps:
    • Lay a flatbread on a clean surface. If using, place a lettuce leaf on the flatbread.
    • Spread a generous amount of tzatziki sauce over the flatbread.
    • Add a portion of cooked shrimp, followed by a handful of the vegetable mixture.
    • Sprinkle with fresh dill for added flavor.
    • Roll up the flatbread to enclose the filling, securing it with a toothpick if necessary.
  5. Serve and Enjoy:
    • Cut the wrap in half for easier handling.
    • Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
