Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap garlic cloves in foil with a drizzle of olive oil and roast for 12 to 15 minutes until soft.
While garlic roasts, pat shrimp dry and place in a bowl.
Add olive oil, paprika, oregano, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and lemon juice to shrimp and toss well.
Heat a skillet over medium high heat and cook shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes per side until pink and lightly browned.
Remove shrimp from heat and set aside.
In a blender or food processor, combine roasted garlic, feta, yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and parsley.
Blend until smooth, adding water or milk gradually to reach a creamy consistency.
Warm flatbreads briefly in a dry skillet or microwave to make them flexible.
Spread a generous layer of feta sauce on each wrap, then add lettuce, cucumber, onion, tomatoes, and cooked shrimp.
Fold wraps tightly, garnish with parsley, and serve with lemon wedges.
Tips
Use large shrimp so they stay juicy during cooking.
Do not overcrowd the pan or shrimp will steam instead of sear.
Roast garlic until soft but not burned for the best flavor.
Taste the feta sauce before assembling and adjust lemon or salt.
Warm wraps before filling to prevent cracking.
Slice vegetables thinly for easier rolling.
Add shrimp at the last moment to keep wraps warm and fresh.
Use full fat yogurt for a richer sauce texture.
Let shrimp rest briefly before assembling to keep juices inside.
Add extra herbs like dill or mint for a fresh twist.
Variations
Replace shrimp with grilled chicken or salmon.
Make it spicy by adding chili flakes or hot sauce to the marinade.
Use whole wheat or low carb wraps for a healthier option.
Add olives or roasted red peppers for extra Mediterranean flavor.
Swap feta with goat cheese for a different creamy taste.
Include avocado slices for added creaminess.
Turn it into a bowl by serving over rice or quinoa instead of wraps.
Add grilled zucchini or eggplant for more vegetables.
Use tzatziki instead of feta sauce for a lighter variation.
Serve the shrimp and sauce as a salad topping instead of a wrap filling.
