Ingredients

Scale

To make these Old Bay Shrimp Burritos, you’ll need:

  • 1 lb medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 large tomato, diced
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons salsa (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Shrimp:

  1. Season the Shrimp: In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with Old Bay seasoning, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let them sit for about 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  2. Cook the Shrimp: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are opaque and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Prepare the Toppings:

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: While the shrimp is cooking, chop the lettuce, dice the tomato, slice the avocado, and thinly slice the red onion.
  2. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream and lime juice. Stir until smooth and set aside.

Assemble the Burritos:

  1. Warm the Tortillas: Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over low heat for 1-2 minutes on each side, or microwave them for 20-30 seconds to make them pliable.
  2. Layer the Burritos: On each tortilla, start with a generous layer of shredded lettuce, followed by diced tomato, red onion slices, and avocado. Top with a portion of cooked shrimp.
  3. Add Sauce and Cheese: Drizzle the lime sour cream sauce over the shrimp and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese and fresh cilantro.
  4. Roll the Burritos: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly, ensuring the fillings are securely wrapped inside.

Serve:

  1. Serve Immediately: Slice the burritos in half, if desired, and serve with additional salsa or a side of chips for a complete meal.
