Notes
You can use grilled shrimp or boiled shrimp to make it lighter.
For extra creaminess, add 1 tbsp cream cheese inside.
Use whole-wheat or Mediterranean flatbread for a healthier version.
Avocado browns quickly — add lemon generously.
Tips
Warm the tortilla for 10 seconds to make rolling easier.
Don’t overcook shrimp — they turn rubbery.
Add fresh herbs (mint, parsley, dill) for Mediterranean freshness.
