Ingredients

Scale

For the Lemon Shrimp:

  • 400g large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

For the Dill Garlic Feta Sauce:

  • 100g feta cheese
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp honey
  • Pinch of black pepper

For the Wraps:

  • 3 pita breads
  • 1 cup cucumber, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ¼ red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce or arugula
  • Optional: extra dill for garnish

Instructions

  1. Marinate the shrimp: In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss the shrimp in the mixture to coat evenly. Let the shrimp marinate for 10 to 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  2. Cook the shrimp: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until the shrimp turn pink and become slightly golden. Remove the shrimp from heat.
  3. Prepare the dill garlic feta sauce: In a separate bowl, mash feta cheese with Greek yogurt until smooth. Stir in minced garlic, chopped fresh dill, lemon juice, honey, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix until creamy and well combined.
  4. Warm the pita: Heat the pita breads in a skillet or oven for about 1 minute, until they are soft and warm to the touch.
  5. Assemble the wraps: Spread a generous layer of the dill garlic feta sauce over each pita bread. Top with cooked shrimp, sliced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, and shredded lettuce or arugula.
  6. Serve: Fold the pita breads around the fillings to form wraps. Garnish with extra fresh dill if desired and serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the shrimp marinade.
  • Use whole wheat pita bread for a healthier option.
  • The dill garlic feta sauce can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Ensure shrimp is fully cooked and opaque to avoid any food safety issues.
  • Substitute arugula with spinach or romaine lettuce for variations.
