Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a small bowl, toss the 1/2 cup red onion with juice of half the lime and a pinch of salt; set aside to quick-pickle while you cook.

  2. Step 2

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add the 1 lb shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes per side; squeeze remaining lime juice over and stir.

  3. Step 3

    In another bowl, mix the 1/2 cup Greek yogurt with half the chopped green onions and a pinch of salt to make the sauce.

  4. Step 4

    Warm the 8 tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable, about 30 seconds.

  5. Step 5

    Fill each tortilla with shrimp, top with pickled onions, drizzle with sauce, and sprinkle with remaining green onions. Serve with lime wedges.
