Healthy Shrimp Sandwich Wrap with Curry Yogurt & Spinach Recipe

Healthy-Shrimp-Sandwich-Wrap-with-Curry-Yogurt-&-Spinach-Recipe-Cookin-Canuck

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.

ShrimpCurryWrap1

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.

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

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.
