Shrimp Shawarma Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, coriander, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat well. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until shrimp are pink and cooked through.

  3. 3

    Make the Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix together tamarind paste and tahini until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Wraps

    Take a lettuce leaf and place some cooked shrimp inside. Drizzle with tamarind-tahini sauce and top with crispy black rice. Roll the lettuce leaf around the filling to create a wrap.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the shrimp shawarma wraps immediately, garnished with extra sauce if desired.
