Shrimp & Naan "Wraps"

A few days ago I sauteed shrimp in olive oil and garlic for dinner.  There were a few shrimp left over, and I was trying to figure out how to turn them into a tasty lunch.   Luckily my refrigerator and freezer offered a wealth of good options:  mango, spicy mayo, butter lettuce, and naan.  

Frozen naan is now a staple in my house.  It heats quickly in the oven, and is great not only for my attempts at Indian cuisine, but also as an alternative to crackers when serving cheeses and various tapenades.  Since I was heating up the oven for the naan, I also wrapped the shrimp in aluminum foil and put them in at the same time as the naan. The naan and the shrimp were heated through in about three minutes. The wraps were assembled as follows:

1 naan - spread generously with spicy mayo
1 leaf of butter lettuce
2 or 3 slices of mango
2 or 3 shrimp

The wrap was too thick to roll, but the naan was large enough to fold in half, sort of similar to a soft taco.  Yumm!

 I apologize for the lack of a picture, put as frequently happens, I ate everything before I had a chance to take any photos!
