Method
Panko-Crusted Shrimp
Prepare shrimp
Pat shrimp dry with paper towels. Season lightly with 0.5 tsp salt and 0.25 tsp black pepper.
Set up breading station
Place flour in a shallow bowl. In a second bowl, beat the eggs. In a third shallow bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, toasted sesame seeds (if using), and remaining 0.5 tsp salt and 0.25 tsp black pepper.
Bread shrimp
Working in batches, dredge each shrimp in flour, shaking off excess, dip into beaten eggs, then press into panko mixture to coat evenly. Place breaded shrimp on a tray while heating oil.
Fry shrimp
Pour oil into a large skillet to reach about 1/4 inch depth and heat over medium-high until shimmering (about 350°F / 175°C if using a thermometer). Fry shrimp in a single layer in batches, 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Keep warm in a low oven (200°F/95°C) if needed.
Asian Stir-Fry Vegetables
Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (or sesame oil) in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add minced garlic and ginger and stir-fry 20–30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
Add julienned carrot, sliced red bell pepper, and snow peas. Stir-fry 2–3 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
Add sliced green onions and baby spinach; stir 30–60 seconds until spinach is wilted. Stir in 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon rice vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Toss to combine, then remove from heat and keep warm.
Wasabi Aioli
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon wasabi paste, 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice, and 1/2 teaspoon honey until smooth. If too thick, add up to 1 teaspoon water to reach desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt or more wasabi for heat.
Wrap Assembly
Warm tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave (10–15 seconds) to make them pliable.
Spread about 1.5 tablespoons of wasabi aioli down the center of each tortilla.
Place a quarter of the warm stir-fry vegetables over the aioli, then arrange 5 panko-crusted shrimp on top.
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll tightly to form a wrap. If desired, toast the seam-side down in a skillet 1–2 minutes per side to seal and crisp the tortilla.
Slice each wrap in half on the diagonal and serve immediately with extra wasabi aioli and lime wedges.
