TIPS

 

  • Best Lettuce Options: Use romaine, butter lettuce or iceberg for sturdy, crisp wraps.
  • Avoid Overcooking: Shrimp cook quickly and remove from heat as soon as they turn opaque.
  • Extra Crunch: Add thinly sliced cucumber or shredded carrots for texture.
  • Spicy Option: Sprinkle red pepper flakes or drizzle with sriracha for heat.
  • Pairing Ideas: Serve with guacamole, salsa or a light dressing for extra flavour.

VARIATIONS

 

  • Grilled Version: Grill the shrimp for a smoky, charred flavour.
  • Herb Infusion: Add chopped cilantro or basil for added freshness.
  • Low-Fat Option: Use a non-stick pan with minimal oil for a lower-fat meal.
  • Protein Swap: Replace shrimp with grilled chicken, tofu or tuna.
  • Extra Creamy: Mash the avocado with Greek yoghurt for a richer filling.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

 

  • Refrigeration: Store components separately in airtight containers for up to 24 hours.
  • Freezing: Freezing is not recommended, as lettuce and avocado do not freeze well.
  • Meal Prep Tip: Cook the shrimp in advance and assemble the wraps just before eating.
