Indian Shrimp Pita Pockets Recipes

SHRIMP AND AVOCADO TZATZIKI POCKETS

Steps:

• Cut cooked shrimp into small pieces and mix with avocado in a bowl. Set aside in the refrigerator.
• Combine yogurt, cucumber, oil, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, dill, parsley, and pepper in a bowl and mix well. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
• Mix shrimp and avocado in tzatziki dip gently. Divide mixture among pita pockets. Top with sliced almonds.

SHRIMP-SALAD PITAS

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Soak the chopped onion in a bowl of cold water while you prepare the shrimp.
• Toss the shrimp with the olive oil, paprika, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste on a rimmed baking sheet. Spread in an even layer and broil until the shrimp are opaque, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool. Wash and dry the baking sheet.
• Drain the onion and add to the shrimp along with the yogurt, carrot, cucumber, dill, and salt and pepper to taste. Grate in 1 teaspoon lemon zest and squeeze in about half of the lemon juice.
• Lay the pitas on the baking sheet and toast under the broiler. Cut the pitas in half and fill with the lettuce and shrimp salad.

SHRIMP SHEET PAN PITA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Wrap the pita bread in foil and set aside.
• Add the asparagus, mushrooms, squash and onion to a sheet pan and toss with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, 1 1/2 tablespoons of the Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Move to one side of the pan.
• Toss the shrimp with the remaining olive oil and Italian seasoning blend and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add to the other side of the pan.
• Put the foil-wrapped pita in the oven with the sheet pan. Bake, tossing the shrimp and vegetables halfway through, until the shrimp are just cooked and the vegetables are lightly roasted and starting to turn golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Squeeze over the juice of one of the lemons.
• Mix together the yogurt, dill, lemon zest and the juice of the second lemon in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• Lay out the sheet pan with the shrimp and vegetables alongside a plate with the sliced tomatoes and lettuce, warm pita halves and yogurt mixture. Put the olives and feta into separate bowls and have everyone fill their own pita with the different elements. Garnish with additional dill.
