Description
If you crave seafood, the shrimp wrap recipe is best for you. Shrimp is one of my favorite seafood. You only need a tortilla wrap, sautéed shrimp, and a veggie salad. I tried these wraps in a seafood restaurant in San Francisco with my family. I recreated the recipe with my improved version, which tasted even better.

- 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.
- 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.
Notes
- Use quality shrimp and tortillas for the best results.
- Don’t overcook the shrimp because it will lose its natural taste. If we cook shrimps for a long time the shrimps become rubbery. Don’t choose the slimy shrimps with their color change.
- Season the shrimp properly and make sure they are well-coated. This will help the flavors to be absorbed completely in shrimps.
- Place the veggies salad first followed by cooked shrimp and sauce. Wrap it completely and if you want to secure it then secure it with the help of a toothpick.
