Recipe Notes
- The garlic that is roasted with the chickpeas is mainly to help infuse the garlic flavor into the chickpeas. They taste amazing in the pita as well, but are optional.
- Fresh shrimp would work well too. Simply pat dry, add a little avocado oil to a small skillet and fry the shrimp approximately 1-2 minutes per side or until fully cooked. Sprinkle with sea salt.
