Ingredients

Method

  1. Toss the shrimp with chili powder, cumin, lime juice, and salt. Sauté in a pan with olive oil until pink and opaque.
  2. In a small bowl, mash the avocado with a pinch of salt and lime juice to make a rough guacamole.
  3. Spread the mashed avocado onto the wraps. Top with the cooked shrimp, corn, and cilantro.
  4. Add a dollop of sour cream or yogurt if desired, roll up the wrap, and serve.

Common questions

Can I substitute the shrimp with something else in these wraps?

Yes. Try cooked chicken, tofu, or black beans for a different protein. For tofu, press and sauté until browned. For chicken, cook through and slice. Keep the lime-chili seasoning so the wraps still taste bright and zesty.

How long does it take to make Zesty Shrimp & Avocado Wraps?

Plan on about 20 minutes total. The shrimp cook in 3–5 minutes, and the avocado mash takes just a couple of minutes. If you’re warming corn or prepping toppings, add a few extra minutes.

What are the most common mistakes when cooking the shrimp?

The biggest mistake is overcooking. Shrimp should turn pink and opaque and curl into a loose C shape, not a tight O. Also, don’t skip patting them dry; excess moisture can prevent good browning.

Can I make these wraps ahead of time and store them?

You can prep the components ahead, but assemble just before eating for the best texture. Store cooked shrimp, corn, and avocado mixture separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat shrimp gently.

What should I serve with these wraps?

They pair well with a simple side like tortilla chips and salsa, a green salad, or extra lime wedges. For a fuller meal, serve with rice or a light bean salad. Add sour cream or yogurt on the side.
