Ingredients

Scale

Mediterranean Ground Shrimp

  • 1 lb (450g) raw shrimp, peeled, deveined, and finely chopped (ground texture)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon chili flakes (adjust to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • Zest of ½ lemon
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

Creamy Hot Honey Feta Sauce

  • ¾ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1½ tablespoons hot honey
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 small garlic clove, grated
  • 12 tablespoons warm water (to thin, if needed)

Wrap Assembly

  • 4 large soft flatbreads or pita wraps
  • 1 cup shredded romaine lettuce
  • ½ cup diced cucumber
  • ½ cup halved cherry tomatoes
  • ¼ small red onion, thinly sliced
  • Extra parsley for garnish
  • Optional: sliced avocado or pickled red onions

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Shrimp: Finely chop the shrimp with a sharp knife until it resembles ground meat. Pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. In a bowl, combine the shrimp with paprika, oregano, cumin, chili flakes, salt, black pepper, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix gently until evenly seasoned.
  2. Cook the Ground Shrimp: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to brown it. Add the seasoned shrimp mixture in an even layer. Cook for 4–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp turns pink and is fully cooked. Avoid overcooking to maintain tenderness. Stir in fresh parsley and remove from heat.
  3. Make the Creamy Hot Honey Feta Sauce: In a bowl, combine feta cheese, Greek yogurt, olive oil, hot honey, lemon juice, and grated garlic. Blend with a hand blender or mash vigorously with a fork until smooth and creamy. Add warm water one tablespoon at a time to reach a drizzle-able consistency. Taste and adjust sweetness or spice as desired.
  4. Assemble the Wraps: Warm the flatbreads slightly in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable. Spread a generous layer of creamy hot honey feta sauce on each wrap. Top with a portion of the Mediterranean ground shrimp, then add lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion. Drizzle with extra sauce and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Fold in the sides and roll tightly into a wrap. Slice in half and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Ensure the shrimp is finely chopped to achieve the ground texture suitable for the wrap.
  • Adjust chili flakes and hot honey amount to your preferred spice level.
  • Warm the flatbreads just enough to make them flexible—overheating can make them brittle and prone to break.
  • Optional additions like sliced avocado or pickled red onions can enhance texture and flavor.
  • Serve immediately after assembly for the best texture and freshness.
