I love shrimp recipes, so I have loads of them on the site. This grilled shrimp Po Boy Sandwich is one of my favorites. You might also like my recipe for Shrimp Scampi, or a Shrimp Scampi

If you’re ready to make this shrimp wrap recipe, let’s make sure you have everything you’ll need: 

Indgredients 

• shrimp – you’ll want to get deveined shrimp without the tail and uncooked 
• blackened seasoning – this will be seasoning for the shrimp and for the sauce. It ads a wonderful cajun flavor 
• lemon juice – use this as an acid in place of vinegar for your dressing. It also provides great flavor 
• olive oil – olive oil is used to mix with the lemon juice, seasonigs, and sour cream 
• black pepper – another level of seasoning for the dressing 
• sour cream – this is what will provide your creamy texture and another delicious flavor to the dressing 
• lettuce – use a lightweigt lettuce like Boston or Bibb lettuce 
• red onion – these will be cut up into slices and used to construct your shrimp wrap 
• cilantro – I know that this is not a favorite flavor to some people. I love the flavor cilantro adds, but feel free to substitute parsley or omit it alltogether 
• cucumber – sliced an cubed 
• tortilla shells – these should be toasted. You can use tongs to toast them over an open flame on your stovetop, or toast them in a skillet

Ingredients

• 3 Tbsp. lemon juice
• 4 Tbsp. olive oil divided
• 1&1/2 tsp. Zatarain's Blackened Seasoning
• ⅛ tsp. ground black pepper
• 3 Tbsp. sour cream
• 1 lb. shrimp uncooked but deveined, and peeled shrimp – with tails removed
• Boston lettuce or Bibb Lettuce
• Tortilla Shells toasted
• 1 medium cucumber peeled, and cut into quarters
• 1 small small red onion sliced thin
• ¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves

Instructions

• In a medium-sized bowl, toss the shrimp in 1 tsp. of the blackened seasoning. Set aside
• Whisk the dressing ingredients: lemon juice, only 3 out of the 4 Tbsp. of olive oil, seasonings, and sour cream – set aside
• In a large skillet, add the rest of the olive oil, and set the burner on med/high heat
• Place the shrimp in the skillet, and stir them while they cook – about 3-5 minutes. They should turn pink
• Prepare the tortilla shells by spreading a large spoonful of sauce down the center, add toppings (lettuce, cucumber, red onion, and cilantro, and shrimp)
• Serve with leftover dressing

Notes

You can also serve in Naan bread (Flatbread). I like the tortilla shell better because the Naan bread tends to break open when folded.
