• Lime juice: Lime juice will add a citrus flavor to the shrimp and make a salad. It balances the shrimp’s flavor.
• Butter: Butter is used to sauté the shrimp and make it soft and tender.
• Tortilla: I am using flour tortillas, but you can also use corn tortillas. Warm the tortilla in a pan or microwave it.
• Coleslaw: Coleslaw is a classic mayo with shredded cabbage, carrots, mayo, vinegar, and some sugar that goes well with most wraps.

How to Make Shrimp Wrap Recipe

1.Marinate the Shrimps

Wash the peeled shrimp and remove the tails. Put the shrimp in a bowl and add grated ginger, minced garlic, black seed, and taco seasoning. Mix them well and make sure they are well-coated. Marinate the shrimp for about 10 minutes.

2.Prepare the Salad

Mix the shredded lettuce, cherry tomatoes, red radishes, chopped cilantro, spring onion, diced avocado, lime juice, fresh red chili, olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a separate bowl.

3.Fry the Shrimps

Heat oil in a pan and add the marinated shrimp. Cook for 5-6 minutes or until the shrimp turn pink. Add butter, salt, and paprika powder and cook for 2 minutes more. Don’t overcook the shrimp. 

4.Assemble the shrimp wraps

Warm the tortilla wraps from both sides. Place salads, prepared shrimp, and cilantro lime sauce in the center of the wrap. Wrap it, and enjoy your tortilla shrimp wraps.

Expert Tips

• Use quality shrimp and tortillas for the best results. 
• Don’t overcook the shrimp because it will lose its natural taste. If we cook shrimp for a long time, they become rubbery. Please don’t choose the slimy shrimps with their color change.
• Season the shrimp properly and ensure they are well-coated. This will help the flavors completely absorb in shrimp.
• Place the veggies salad first, followed by the cooked shrimp and sauce. Wrap it all together; if you want to secure it, use a toothpick.

Shrimp Wrap Ideas

Serve these shrimp wraps with

• Your favorite corn salsa or sweet potato fries.
• Side salads of your favorite veggies.
• Cilantro lime sauce is also the best option for serving your wraps.
• Colorful fruit skewers with pineapple, watermelon, and berries. Savory shrimp wraps balance the sweetness of these fruits.

Storage options

• If you have leftover shrimp wrap, wrap it in aluminum foil and refrigerate it in an airtight container. In this way, you can store it for 2-3 days. I don’t recommend storing it too long because the veggies will get soggy, and the taste will not remain the same. I recommend storing all the filling of the wrap separately in compartments. If you have a separate compartment in a container, place the tortilla, shrimp, and veggies separately.
• I don’t recommend you freeze the wrap. Freezing will not work for these shrimp wraps.
• Reheating the shrimp wrap is not best, but you can reheat it in the microwave or over a dry skillet. Open the tortilla wrap and microwave for 1-2 minutes or until warm. Or warm it on a dry skillet and reheat it
