Mediterranean Shrimp Wraps

Hey Jude's Note:

I saw this being made on a Robin Miller episode on Food Network. I printed out the recipe and it's been sitting in my "to do" pile for quite a while. We finally tried it tonight for dinner and were delighted at how all the flavors blended together and it just couldn't be any easier or more versatile. You can make your own basil pesto, of course, and use any flavor of tortilla, or just use plain (we used spinach). The original recipe called for canned artichoke but we don't like those and so I used marinated artichokes in the jar and rinsed the oil off, then squeezed them dry in a paper towel. The sun-dried tomatoes added a lovely bite of flavor, I do not recommend leaving them out. These will make a really nice, light summer meal served with a couscous salad, or some other Mediterranean type salad.

This is so fantastic!!!! I love all the fresh flavors!!!!!!!! I used the same shrimp that Chef*Lee did and it is really good and already cooked up, you just have to heat them in the microwave. Then, I made a basil mayonnaise instead of pesto because I was lazy and didn't want to get out my food processor. It was great!!! I used arugula in place of spinach and talk about depth of flavor!!! I will definitely make this wrap again!!! Loved it!!!!

These are fabulous!!!!!!!!! I saw this Robin Miller show today and I just had to make these tonight, they looked so good!!! There are so many great flavors going on here!!! I used Basil Pesto - "Lighter Version" (by Kozmic Blues) to whip up a quick, fresh pesto and I used Gorton's New classic grilled shrimp that comes marinated and flame-grilled with herbs and spices. It comes in a bag in the freezer section and I just microwaved a few pieces to put on my wraps!! (Thanks Gorton's for coming out with that because that makes some nice, easy meals when you are wanting to save time!!) I just loved these wraps, I will definitely make these again!!! I'm gonna have another one tomorrow and I can't wait!!!
