How to Make Avocado Seafood Wraps

Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 5 minutes

Servings: 3

Ingredients

For the Filling:

• • • 5 ounces shrimp, peeled and deveined
    • 3 ounces crab meat, finely chopped
    • ¼ cup heavy cream
    • 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
    • ¾ teaspoon ground coriander
    • ½ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
    • ¼ teaspoon minced garlic

For the Wrap:

• • • 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
    • 3 (8-inch) whole-wheat tortillas
    • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
    • 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
    • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Seafood

In a non-stick skillet, combine shrimp, crab, heavy cream, butter, garlic (minced with the garlic rocker), coriander, and cayenne. Cook over medium-high heat for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until shrimp turns bright pink and opaque. Remove from heat and let rest.

Step 2: Build the Wrap

Spread Greek yogurt evenly across the center of each whole-wheat tortilla using a silicone spatula. Arrange sliced avocado and cucumber over the yogurt.

Step 3: Add the Seafood and Roll

Spoon the warm seafood mixture over the vegetables. Fold the tortillas over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly. Use a toothpick to secure each wrap and serve immediately.

Tips, Variations & Customizations

• Make it spicy: Add a dash of Sriracha or hot sauce to the yogurt spread.
• Go low-carb: Use lettuce leaves or collard greens instead of tortillas.
• Add crunch: Top with shredded cabbage or slivered almonds.
• Boost flavor: Mix fresh dill or lemon zest into the seafood filling.
• Meal prep: Make the filling a day in advance and store in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Recipe

Can I use imitation crab instead of real crab meat?

Yes, you can substitute imitation crab if fresh or canned crab isn’t available. It has a milder flavor but works well in wraps. Just be mindful of added sugars or preservatives, and adjust seasoning if needed for flavor balance.

Can I use frozen shrimp?

Absolutely. Just thaw the shrimp completely and pat them dry before cooking to prevent excess water from thinning the sauce. Frozen shrimp are convenient and just as nutritious as fresh, making them a great option for quick meals.

What kind of tortillas should I use?

Whole-wheat tortillas work best for added fiber and structure. However, you can use gluten-free wraps, spinach tortillas, or even corn tortillas if you prefer.

Is this dish good for meal prepping?

Yes! You can prepare the seafood filling in advance and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days. Assemble the wraps right before serving to prevent sogginess. Pre-sliced avocado can brown, so cut it fresh when ready to eat.

What’s a good dairy-free alternative to Greek yogurt?

You can use coconut yogurt, almond yogurt, or any unsweetened dairy-free yogurt alternative. They still provide creaminess and a balance of spice while keeping the wrap plant-based and lactose-free.

Can I add more vegetables to the wrap?

Definitely. Try adding shredded carrots, bell pepper strips, baby spinach, or arugula for more crunch, color, and nutrients. These wraps are versatile and adapt well to what you have in your fridge.

How do I keep the wrap from falling apart?

Use fresh, flexible tortillas, and don’t overstuff them. Spread ingredients evenly and fold tightly, tucking in the sides before rolling. You can also secure it with parchment or foil for transport or add a toothpick to hold everything in place.
