Ingredients

• 1 pound raw large shrimp
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 4 flour tortillas
• 2 cups shredded romaine lettuce
• 1 cup julienned carrots
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 1 sliced avocado
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon hot sauce
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and devein the shrimp if not done already. Pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with the olive oil, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until evenly coated.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are pink, opaque, and cooked through. Remove the skillet from heat and let the shrimp cool slightly.

Step 4

While the shrimp are cooling, prepare the spicy sauce. In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, hot sauce, and lemon juice until smooth.

Step 5

Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them pliable.

Step 6

Assemble the wraps: Place a handful of shredded romaine lettuce onto the center of each tortilla. Add a few spoonfuls of julienned carrots, diced tomatoes, and slices of avocado. Top with the cooked shrimp.

Step 7

Drizzle the spicy sauce over the filling and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.

Step 8

Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly from the bottom to form a wrap.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your Zydeco Shrimp Wraps!
