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 to coat evenly. Drizzle in lemon juice and mix gently.
- Grill the Shrimp: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the shrimp on the grill and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until the shrimp turn pink, opaque, and slightly charred.
- Make the Caesar Dressing: In a small 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 flour tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable and warmed through.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay each warmed tortilla flat and spread a generous layer of Caesar dressing over the surface. Add grilled shrimp, chopped romaine lettuce, shaved Parmesan cheese, and if desired, sprinkle with croutons and crumbled bacon.
- 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 while the shrimp are warm and the flavors are fresh.
Notes
- You can substitute grilled shrimp with grilled chicken or tofu for variation.
- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free tortillas and ensure croutons are gluten-free or omit them.
- Add extra veggies like sliced cucumbers or tomatoes for additional freshness.
- The wraps are best served immediately to keep the tortillas from becoming soggy.
- Leftover Caesar dressing can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
