Pesto Shrimp Wraps

For a simple yet sophisticated dish that combines fresh ingredients with bold flavors, try the Pesto Shrimp Wraps recipe. Sourced from the March 2025 issue of Costco Connection Magazine’s “Farm to Table” section, this recipe transforms everyday staples into a vibrant, handheld meal perfect for lunch, dinner, or even a picnic.

At the heart of this dish are succulent shrimp sautéed in olive or avocado oil until perfectly opaque and reaching an internal temperature of 145°F. The wraps are built on 8-10 inch tortillas of your choice, layered with a creamy pesto-mayonnaise spread, cooked couscous tossed in Italian dressing, minced red bell peppers, baby spinach, sliced almonds, and the star shrimp. Each wrap is rolled tightly, sliced diagonally, and garnished with chopped fresh basil and extra minced peppers for a pop of color and crunch.

What makes this recipe stand out is its balance of textures and tastes—creamy pesto, nutty almonds, crisp veggies, and tender shrimp—all coming together in under 30 minutes. It yields eight wraps, making it ideal for sharing or meal prepping.
