Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- Spicy Mayo:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1-2 teaspoons hot sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Preparation
Start by preparing the spicy mayo. In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, hot sauce, and lemon juice. Set aside.
Next, season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Prepare three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
Dip each shrimp into the flour, then the egg, and finally coat thoroughly with panko breadcrumbs. Repeat until all shrimp are coated.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the shrimp until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
Assembling the Wraps
Lay a tortilla flat on a plate. Spread a spoonful of spicy mayo over the center. Add a few pieces of crispy shrimp, slices of avocado, and shredded lettuce.
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom up to enclose the filling.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and ingredients. Serve immediately for a crunchy, flavorful meal or snack.
Tips and Variations
- For extra spice, add sliced jalapeños or a dash of cayenne pepper to the spicy mayo.
- Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier option.
- Serve with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad.
