Ingredients
Scale
Shrimp
- 1 lb shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Caesar Dressing
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 garlic clove (minced)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Wraps
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups romaine lettuce (chopped)
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (shaved)
- 1/2 cup croutons (optional)
- 4 slices bacon (cooked and crumbled, optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Shrimp: In a bowl, toss the peeled and deveined shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to coat evenly and infuse flavor.
- Grill the Shrimp: Preheat the grill and cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until they become pink and opaque, indicating they are fully cooked.
- Make the Caesar Dressing: In another bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Warm the Tortillas: Heat a skillet over medium heat and warm each tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side to make them pliable for wrapping.
- Assemble the Wraps: Spread a generous layer of Caesar dressing on each warmed tortilla. Add grilled shrimp, chopped romaine lettuce, shaved Parmesan cheese, and if desired, sprinkle with croutons and crumbled bacon.
- Wrap and Serve: Fold the sides of each tortilla inward and roll tightly from the bottom up to enclose the filling. Slice the wraps in half and serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the shrimp marinade.
- Substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise to lighten the Caesar dressing.
- To make this gluten-free, use gluten-free tortillas and omit croutons.
- Bacon and croutons are optional but add great texture and flavor contrast.
- Leftover grilled shrimp can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and used in salads or sandwiches.
