- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice

- Start by rinsing the shrimp under cold water. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Season them lightly with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the shrimp to the pan.

- In the same skillet, add minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds.
- Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine with the garlic. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes.
- Add lemon juice and stir to incorporate. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, tossing them in the creamy sauce.
- Add chopped parsley and stir to combine everything.
- Lay out the tortillas and place a handful of mixed greens in the center of each. Top with the shrimp mixture.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it from the bottom up.
- Cut the wraps in half if desired and serve immediately.
