How to Make This stir fry shrimp wraps Recipe

1. 1. Prepare the Shrimp: Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. This helps them sear properly.

1. 2. Sauté the Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add bell peppers, snow peas, and water chestnuts. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender-crisp.

1. 3. Add Aromatics and Shrimp: Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, or they’ll become tough!

1. 4. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using).

1. 5. Combine: Pour the sauce over the shrimp and vegetables in the skillet. Stir to coat everything evenly. Cook for another minute until the sauce thickens slightly.

1. 6. Assemble the Wraps: Warm the tortillas according to package directions. Place a generous portion of the shrimp stir fry in the center of each tortilla.

1. 7. Add Toppings: Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and green onions. Drizzle with sriracha, if desired.

1. 8. Wrap and Serve: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly. Serve immediately.
