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.
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.
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.
Step 4
Warm the 8 tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable, about 30 seconds.
Step 5
Fill each tortilla with shrimp, top with pickled onions, drizzle with sauce, and sprinkle with remaining green onions. Serve with lime wedges.
