Do you ever find yourself chatting away during a meal…when you’re by yourself? Come on, I’m not alone in this, right? Especially when there’s good food involved. Yesterday was one of those days. The boys were at school, my husband was at a meeting and I was left to my own devices in the kitchen. I quickly poached some shrimp, tossed them in my favorite curry yogurt sauce and wrapped them in a whole wheat tortilla with some spinach. That’s when the conversation started. “This is so flippin’ good – and it’s all for me!” “Really, why haven’t I thought of this combination before?” “It’s healthy. That means I can have two wraps, right?…Right?” And on and on I went.
The yogurt sauce, which is a dip we use with Baked Spicy Potato Skins and Zucchini Latkes, comes together in a matter of minutes. In the time it takes to make the dip, you can poach the shrimp. Another few minutes to mix the shrimp with the sauce and roll everything up into one hearty wrap, and lunch is ready. This is truly something I would pay for in a restaurant. But then the talking to myself thing might become a problem. Mothers might start steering their small children away from me. I’ll stick with eating this at home.
The recipe:
For the curry yogurt, combine yogurt, mayonnaise, mango chutney, curry powder and fresh lime juice in a small bowl. Mix to combine.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add shrimp and boil until just cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes. Drain and immediately plunge shrimp into a bowl of ice water to stop the shrimp from cooking.
Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel, chop them roughly and transfer to a medium-sized bowl. Stir in three-quarters of the curry yogurt and mix in minced cilantro.
Spread the remaining curry yogurt on four whole-wheat tortillas. Divide the spinach leaves and shrimp mixture between the tortillas.
Tuck in the ends of each tortilla and roll. Cut in half on a diagonal and serve.

What a great and healthy and flavorful lunch – hmm…is it too early for lunch?
Thanks, Belinda. It’s never too early for lunch food!

I agree. Wraps defy the seasons – they can be eaten anytime.
This is on my must-bake list. I’m always looking for new lunch ideas, and I love how delicious and healthy this wrap is. Thank you for sharing another of your inventive eats. I’m drooling. I hope you are having a lovely day full of laughter and love. Many blessings from Austin, my friend.
Thanks so much, Monet. I always appreciate your kind comment.s
I loooove this. Everything about it. Every. Single. Thing. About. It.
EVERY SINGL….okay, chilling.

Thanks, Bev. I loved it, too!
I am impressed that you cook this well for yourself when you are alone! This looks so good!
Thanks, Kristen. Don’t be too impressed. This wrap took me less than 10 minutes to make.
Love the idea for the curry yogurt sauce with the mango chutney.
Thanks, Terri. It’s one of our favorite sauces for dipping and spreading on sandwiches.
A great combination of flavors. Looks yummy!
Thanks, Carol. The flavors really do blend well together.
Talking to yourself about the food made me laugh
I do that, too. Sometimes my husband comes in the kitchen to see who I’m talking to. I’d definitely be talking about this wrap – looks really delicious!
Glad to hear I’m not alone. Thanks so much, Lana!
Oh! Thank goodness! I thought I was the only one.
Love this recipe. You’ve made a curry fan out of me.
I’m so glad to hear that, Sandy!
I talk *out loud* to myself all the time! And I’m finding that it’s happening more and more!
This wrap looks scrumptious! Definitely a take two treat!
Yes, I definitely find it happens more and more as I get older.
i’m impressed…. great stuff
Thank you, Abraham.
LOL, yes I maybe have had similar conversations with myself in the past. I guess we just get excited about our food, nothing wrong with that!
You’re right – there’s nothing wrong with being excited about good food.
omg I love this combination!
Thanks, Alison. It’s definitely a keeper.
…and then the shrimp said…
another beautiful flavored combination recipe from your kitchen..love the curry with the chutney
Thanks, Drick. The chutney and curry are a great sweet-savory pair.
Hehe! We often share similar conversations – we are all foodie’s after all
I am so impressed you took initiative to prepare delish food for yourself!
I need a little more snack wrap in my life. Thanks!
That certainly does sound interesting. Plenty of curry in there. I should give this one a try for sure!
Of course! GREG
My gosh, Dara, this looks SO fabulous!!!
What’s this healthy stuff Dara? Just kidding….it looks amazing. I love the idea of a shrimp wrap. Yum!!
I haven’t had a shrimp wrap in years – love this lighter version!
I do believe we were sisters in a past life Dara – this is just too spooky:-) I love the recipe and yes, I do have those same conversations with myself!!
This is so healthy and the flavors sound so good together. (no worries, I talk to myself all of the time too!)
What a great wrap for lunch or dinner!
I used to enjoy curried shrimp in the UK as a kid. Thanks for reminding me about the simple perfection of these ingredients. I also talk to myself when alone eating a new creation. Maybe we are secretly auditioning for the next food network star or something
xxoo
Yummy. This is exactly what I had in mind for lunch today. Now if I could just find someone to deliver… LOL!
These sound fantastic! I can’t get enough of wraps.
No worries, Dara. My wife chats to herself all the time. Gendered, though, I think. I only cuss to myself. Recipe looks great and we’ll try it.
I really am impressed with how much you have worked to make this website so enjoyable. Thanks a lot for your effort. Many thanks to the person who made this post, this was very informative for me. Please continue this awesome work.
