The year has flown by at a breakneck speed. With days seeming to fly by at light speed, it can be hard to keep track of things, let alone take the time out to cook. In response to this it’s easy to get a fast food meal out, but of course if you’re looking to eat something healthy and quick there is a fun quick recipe I’d like to share for your viewing pleasure: quick and easy shrimp and veggie wrap with chimchurri sauce. I used a simple assortment of veggies, but you’re free to add more as your heart desires.

Ingredients needed

1-2 lb frozen shrimp (tail off peeled and deveined preferred)

1 of each: green bell pepper and yellow pepper

2 cups fresh spinach

1 pack of 8 count high fiber Wraps

Assorted seasonings: for this batch, I used Mrs. Dash table blend seasoning, pepper, paprika, Tony’s creole seasoning, turmeric, and garlic powder.

For chimchurri sauce

1-2 lb of fresh parsley

1/4 cup oregano

2/4 red wine vinegar

6 cloves of garlic

A pinch of salt

2 dashes of red pepper flakes

2/3 cup olive oil

Step 1 – Be sure to thaw out the shrimp if you haven’t already done so. Be sure to double-check your shrimp for any impurities that may need to be removed.

Step 2 – After the shrimp have been thawed and cleaned, place the shrimp into a bowl and apply the assorted seasonings listed above. Set the shrimp to the side

Step 3- Chop peppers into strips and set aside in a bowl or container.

Step 3- In a food processor (or by hand), finely chop the garlic cloves and parsley and, upon completion, place into a bowl. Once in the bowl, apply the oregano, salt, red pepper flakes, olive oil and vinegar, and mix. Once all mixing has been complete, set this aside

Step 4- Heat up your desired cooking oil n a large saucepan and add the shrimp. Cook until the shimp is opaque in color and remove from heat. This should take roughly 5 minutes

Step 5- Once the shrimp has been removed, proceed to cook the pepper strips to your desired tenderness and remove from heat.

Step 6- Take one fiber wrap tortilla and apply a layer of spinach, followed by the pepper strips, and add a layer of shrimp and finally a helping of the chimchurri sauce.

Step 7- Enjoy!

And there you have it. A quick and easy, nutrient dense, and savory meal that can be enjoyed any day of the week. Feel free to add and subtract your favorite vegetables as you see fit for even more nutrients. Bon appetite dear readers, until next time!
