Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Shrimp Avocado Tzatziki Pockets.
Step 1
Start by chopping your chilled, cooked shrimp into small, bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, gently combine these shrimp pieces with creamy avocado chunks.
Step 3
Cover the bowl and pop it in the refrigerator while you whip up a refreshing tzatziki sauce.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, mix together velvety Greek yogurt, freshly grated cucumber, a drizzle of olive oil, minced garlic, zesty lemon juice, and fragrant lemon zest.
Step 5
Sprinkle in some salt, dill, parsley, and a dash of black pepper, then stir everything together until it’s beautifully blended.
Step 6
Cover this mixture and let it chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes; this allows the flavors to mingle and develop a delicious depth.
Step 7
Once your tzatziki is ready, gently fold in the shrimp and avocado mixture, ensuring everything is evenly coated in that creamy goodness.
Step 8
Now comes the fun part! Carefully spoon the shrimp and avocado tzatziki into soft pita pockets, and for an extra crunch and burst of flavor, top each pocket with sliced almonds.
Step 9
Enjoy this delightful dish that’s perfect for a light lunch or a refreshing snack!.
