Ingredients:

For the Shrimp:

1 lb large shrimp (peeled & deveined) – The star of the dish!

1 tbsp olive oil – Helps the seasoning stick.

1 tsp chili powder – For that bold taco flavor.

½ tsp cumin & ½ tsp smoked paprika – Adds depth and smokiness.

½ tsp garlic powder – Because everything’s better with garlic!

Juice of ½ lime – Brightens up the shrimp.

Salt & black pepper to taste

For the Wraps & Toppings:

1 head butter lettuce or romaine leaves – Crisp and perfect for wrapping.

1 avocado (diced) – Creamy and rich.

½ cup cherry tomatoes (halved) – Juicy and fresh.

¼ cup fresh cilantro (chopped) – For an herby touch.

¼ cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream – A light, tangy topping.

1 small jalapeño (sliced, optional) – For a little heat!

How to Make It:

Season & Cook the Shrimp:

Toss shrimp with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and lime juice. Sauté in a skillet over medium-high heat for 2–3 minutes per side until pink and opaque.

Assemble the Wraps:

Top & Serve:

Drizzle with Greek yogurt or sour cream, add sliced jalapeños if desired, and enjoy immediately!
