It’s not really a secret that I love shrimp, ranch and spicy foods…most likely in that order too! This Buffalo Shrimp Wrap Recipe is a spin on a recipe I created when The Husband and I first started dating. He will tell you its when I create science projects in the kitchen to get him to eat better without knowing its good for him. Honestly though, I wanted to put a healthier spin on one of his favorite things so I could eat it too: buffalo wings dipped in cool, creamy ranch.
Enter these deliciously, easy wraps. I took the carrots & celery you get on the side, mixed with them a low-fat Homemade ranch and a little cheese then topped them with these crispy, buttery, panko crusted shrimp tossed in a sweet & spicy sauce. If you have time, I highly recommend making your own flour tortillas. If not, do not worry, I guarantee everyone will be requesting you make these again and again.
