Step-by-Step Guide
Season & Cook Shrimp: Toss shrimp with oil, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high; cook shrimp 2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove from heat.
Make Drizzle: In a blender, combine cilantro, lime juice, yogurt, garlic, and a splash of water. Blend until smooth—adjust thickness with water.
Assemble Wraps: On a serving platter, lay out lettuce leaves. Top each with 3–4 shrimp, avocado slices, and tomato quarters.
Finish & Serve: Drizzle each wrap with cilantro-lime sauce. Serve immediately.
