Very tasty recipe!!
Aaron Zimmerman
My kale rotted in the fridge, so I used spinach instead. Wasn’t sure what this was going to taste like, since I don’t eat pitas or plain yogourt… but this was sooo good! Very yummy, healthy and filling!
Brian Holloway
Really surprisingly good. I didnt think they would have much flavor but they sure did! I had my shrimp steamed in medium Old Bay before peeling them. Couldn’t find the pitas i wanted so instead used sun-dried tomato wraps. I will definitely make these again.

Delicious and easy!  Added feta crumbled with sundried tomato and basil,  that really set it off!  Will definitely make this again!
Mary Stone
My husband and I LOVED this recipe! Definitely making this one again.

The kale really stands up to the yogurt dressing, and is a fresh burst of flavor in the pita pocket. Healthy alternative to lunch sandwiches or subs, just bring a napkin!
Luis Hopkins
Add some fresh basil in it too  because it goes well with the shrimp
