Blackened Shrimp Wraps with Blue Cheese
​Prep time: 15 mins | Cook time: 10 mins | Servings: 4 wraps
​The Ingredients
​For the Shrimp:
​1 lb Large Shrimp: Peeled, deveined, and tails removed.
​2 tbsp Blackening Seasoning: (Or a mix of smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, and thyme).
​1 tbsp Olive Oil.
​For the Assembly:
​4 Flatbreads or Pitas: Lightly grilled/toasted.
​1 cup Blue Cheese Crumbles: Gives that distinct sharp, creamy flavor seen in the photo.
​4 slices Bacon: Cooked until crispy and chopped.
​2 cups Romaine Lettuce: Shredded.
​1 large Tomato: Diced.
​Tzatziki or Ranch: For drizzling (optional).
​The Preparation
​Season the Shrimp: In a bowl, toss the shrimp with the olive oil and blackening seasoning until they are completely coated.
​Sear: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until they are opaque and have a nice dark crust. Remove from heat immediately so they stay tender.
​Warm the Bread: Briefly place your flatbreads on the skillet or over an open gas flame for 30 seconds per side to get those charred grill marks.
​Build the Wrap: * Lay the flatbread flat and add a handful of shredded lettuce.
​Layer on the diced tomatoes and crispy bacon bits.
​Add 3–4 blackened shrimp per wrap.
​Generously top with the blue cheese crumbles.
​Finish: If you like it extra saucy, add a drizzle of cool tzatziki or peppercorn ranch to balance the heat of the shrimp.
