Crisp lager or a chilled Sauvignon Blanc complement the spicy, savory flavors perfectly.

Season and cook shrimp:: In a bowl, toss shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add shrimp and cook 2 to 3 minutes per side, until pink and opaque. Remove from heat.
Make buffalo sauce:: In a separate bowl, mix hot sauce, melted butter, and honey. Toss cooked shrimp in the buffalo sauce until coated.
Prep wraps:: Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
Assemble wraps:: Spread ranch or blue cheese dressing down the center of each tortilla. Add lettuce, carrots, celery, and red onion. Top with buffalo shrimp.
