Ingredients
  

  • Shrimp
  • 1 lb Large Shrimp Peeled & Deveined
  • 2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 3 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
  • Garlic Yogurt Sauce
  • 1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
  • 1 clove Garlic Grated
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 tsp Olive Oil
  • Sumac Salad
  • 2 Roma Tomatoes Diced
  • 1 Persian Cucumber Diced
  • 1/4 Red Onion Thinly Sliced
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley Chopped
  • 1 tbsp Sumac
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • Assembly
  • 4 Flatbreads or Pitas
  • 1 cup Mixed Greens

Method
 

  1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. Season Shrimp: In a bowl, toss shrimp with oil, garlic, paprika, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  3. Bake: Spread shrimp on the pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes until pink.
  4. Whisk Sauce: Combine yogurt sauce ingredients in a small bowl; set aside.
  5. Toss Salad: Mix salad ingredients in a separate bowl.
  6. Assemble: Warm flatbreads, spread sauce, add greens, shrimp, and top with salad.

Notes

  • Shrimp Selection: Use Large (21/25 count) shrimp. Smaller shrimp cook too quickly and turn rubbery before they can develop a slight char.
  • Dry the Protein: Pat the shrimp extremely dry with paper towels before seasoning. Excess moisture causes them to steam rather than roast, ruining the "kebab" texture.
  • The "C" Rule: Remove shrimp from the oven the moment they curl into a "C" shape. If they tighten into an "O," they are overcooked.
  • Sauce Consistency: If the garlic yogurt sauce is too thick to drizzle, whisk in 1 tsp of cold water at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.
  • Sumac Substitute: If you can't find sumac, use extra lemon zest and a pinch of flaky sea salt to mimic that bright, acidic punch.
  • Make it Keto: Swap the pita for large butter lettuce leaves or serve the ingredients over a bed of cauliflower rice to drop the net carbs to approximately 8g.
  • Warm the Bread: Never skip warming your flatbread. 30 seconds in a dry pan makes the wrap pliable and prevents it from breaking under the weight of the fillings.
