Ingredients
- 200g large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For Lemon Aioli:
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt to taste
Preparation
Start by preparing the lemon aioli. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon zest, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
Next, heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and cook until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and cook the asparagus until tender-crisp, about 3-4 minutes. Season with a little salt and pepper.
Warm the tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave. To assemble, spread a generous spoonful of lemon aioli on each tortilla. Divide the cooked shrimp and asparagus evenly among the wraps.
Fold the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly to enclose the filling. Serve immediately, garnished with extra lemon zest or fresh herbs if desired.
Serving Suggestions
This dish pairs well with a light green salad or a refreshing cucumber and tomato salsa. For an extra zest, add a squeeze of lemon over the wraps before serving.
