Shrimp Wrap with Melon-Cucumber Relish

What You’ll Need:
1 pound(s) medium shrimp, shelled and deveined
1/4 cup(s) fresh cilantro, chopped
1 teaspoon(s) salt
1 teaspoon(s) fresh-ground black pepper
1 teaspoon(s) cumin

2 tablespoon(s) vegetable oil
4 10-inch sandwich wraps, such as flour tortillas or lavash
1/4 cup(s) Curry-Dijon Mayonnaise

How It’s Made:
Saute the shrimp: In a large bowl, toss shrimp with cilantro, salt, pepper, cumin, and cinnamon. In a large skillet over high heat, heat oil. Add shrimp to the hot oil and saute, stirring occasionally, until cooked through -- 3 to 4 minutes.

Assemble the wraps: On a clean work surface, place 4 wraps and spread 1 tablespoon of Curry-Dijon Mayonnaise on each. Place 4 to 6 shrimp on each wrap. Top the shrimp with 1/4 cup of Melon-Cucumber Relish and fold the wraps into sandwiches.

1 1/2 cup(s) (about 2 medium) kirby cucumber, diced
2/3 (about 1 small onion) red onion, minced
1/3 cup(s) (about 1 large stalk) celery, minced
1 tablespoon(s) jalapeño, minced
1 tablespoon(s) chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 cup(s) cider vinegar
1 teaspoon(s) salt

Make the relish: In a medium nonreactive bowl, place the watermelon, cantaloupe, cucumber, red onion, celery, jalapeño, and cilantro. Sprinkle vinegar and salt over the relish and gently toss. Chill for 30 minutes before serving.
