Description

These Shrimp Cilantro Lime Wrap Pockets are a fresh and zesty handheld meal packed with juicy shrimp, creamy avocado, crisp veggies, and a tangy cilantro lime sauce all wrapped in a warm tortilla.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro
  • 2 limes, juiced
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1 small head red cabbage, shredded
  • 1 heart romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 6 medium flour tortillas

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
  2. In a bowl, mix shrimp with lime juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
  3. In another bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, chopped cilantro, and lime juice to create the sauce.
  4. Cook the shrimp in the hot skillet for 2–3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove from heat.
  5. Warm tortillas in a clean skillet. Spread a spoonful of sauce, then layer with lettuce, cabbage, avocado slices, and shrimp.
  6. Optional: Toast filled wraps in the skillet to seal and crisp them.
  7. Slice wraps diagonally, garnish with more sauce and cilantro if desired, and serve.

Notes

  • Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor in the sauce and marinade.
  • Don’t overcook the shrimp — they cook quickly and can turn rubbery.
  • Prepare ingredients ahead of time and store separately for easy assembly.
  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of chili flakes or diced jalapeño.
