Ingredients
Scale
For the 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
For the 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
For the 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, ensuring each shrimp is coated evenly.
- Grill the Shrimp: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Place the shrimp on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, indicating they are fully cooked. Remove from heat and drizzle with lemon juice for added freshness.
- Make the Caesar Dressing: In a separate 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 Tortillas: Heat a skillet over medium heat and warm each flour tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable and slightly toasted.
- Assemble the Wraps: Spread a generous layer of Caesar dressing evenly over each warm tortilla. Top with grilled shrimp, chopped romaine lettuce, shaved Parmesan cheese, and optional crispy bacon bits and croutons for added texture and flavor.
- Roll the Wraps: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom up to enclose the filling securely.
- Serve: Slice each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Feel free to customize your wraps by adding sliced avocado or tomatoes for extra freshness.
- If you do not have a grill, you can cook the shrimp in a grill pan or skillet indoors.
- For a lower calorie option, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt in the Caesar dressing.
- Croutons and bacon are optional but add a nice crunch and smoky flavor.
- To keep wraps warm before serving, wrap them in foil and place in a warm oven (around 200°F) briefly.
