Grilled Shrimp:

Baja Sauce:

Step 1

Place all ingredients in the blender and puree until smooth.

Step 2

Set aside.

Preparing the wraps:

Step 1

In a 10”-12” saute pan, heat oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit so that it’s about ½” deep.

Step 2

You will know the oil is ready when you drop a touch of water into it and it sizzles.

Step 3

Have your wraps stacked on a plate.

Step 4

Have a large baking sheet lined with paper towels ready.

Step 5

Take one wrap, line the long side edge with a few spoonfuls of shrimp and tightly roll it up, using three toothpicks to hold the wrap closed.

Step 6

Once all the wraps are rolled, place 3 at a time in the hot oil and within the 2 total minutes they need to cook, you will need to flip the rolls 2 times hitting three sides until lightly browned.

Step 7

Remove from oil and place on a paper towel lined baking sheet.

Step 8

Continue until all rolls are done.

Step 9

Sprinkle with sea salt.

Serve with the Baja Sauce.
