Steps:
- For the island salsa: Combine mango, pineapple, strawberries, onion, jalapeno and lime juice in a bowl. Set aside.
- For the shrimp: Prepare shrimp seasoning by combining salt, pepper and garlic powder in a bowl.
- Prepare shrimp by sprinkling them on both sides with shrimp seasoning. Heat vegetable oil in large saute pan on medium to medium-high heat. Once oil is hot and sizzling, place shrimp in pan and cook until translucent on one side, approximately 1 1/2 minutes. Flip, then cook on other side until sides are curled up and translucent, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Remove shrimp from pan, cut into chunks and set aside.
- Place a whole-wheat tortilla shell on a flat surface, then place a small amount of each ingredient on top: spring lettuce mix, diced tomatoes, cooked shrimp chunks and island salsa. Spread along the bottom of the tortilla shell, making sure not to overfill. Take sides of tortilla shell and fold in towards center so the filling can still be seen. Bring up the bottom flap and continue to roll upward while tucking sides as rolled to the top, making sure to roll tightly to keep wrap together. Cut in a diagonal. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, combine the lemon zest and juice and garlic. Add the olive oil and cilantro, then whisk until it's all mixed together.

- Add the avocado to the bowl with the rest of the dressing.
- Dice up the mango: Slice off both halves around the pit, score the flesh inside the skin and invert the skin to pop out the good stuff. Then, slice off the mango pieces so they fall into the bowl with the avocado. Add the red onion and some salt and pepper and gently mix it all together.
- To serve, arrange 4 shrimp in the center of each lettuce leaf and spoon the mango-avocado salad on top. Sprinkle chives over the top to make 'em extra pretty.

SCALLION-AND-MANGO-WRAPPED SHRIMP
The adobo sauce used to coat the shrimp is slightly smoky with a kick of heat, while the mango adds sweetness and a tinge of acidity. Choose a mango that is just underripe and slightly firm so that it will hold its shape when wrapped around the shrimp.

Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe mangoes: The flavor of the mangoes will be much better if they are ripe. You can tell a mango is ripe by its color. A ripe mango will be yellow or orange, with a slight greenish tint. It will also be soft to the touch.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the mangoes: This will help to prevent the mangoes from becoming bruised.
- Use cooked shrimp: This will save you time and effort. You can buy cooked shrimp at the grocery store, or you can cook them yourself by boiling or steaming them.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This will add color, flavor, and nutrients to your wraps. Some good vegetables to use include lettuce, cabbage, carrots, cucumbers, and bell peppers.
- Use a flavorful dressing: This will help to bring all of the flavors of the wrap together. Some good dressings to use include a honey-lime dressing, a peanut sauce, or a sweet and sour sauce.
Conclusion:
Mango and shrimp wraps are a delicious, healthy, and portable meal. They are perfect for lunch or dinner, and they can be easily customized to your liking. With a little planning, you can make a delicious mango and shrimp wrap that the whole family will enjoy.
