Ingredients
Shrimp and Seasoning
- 1 pound peeled and deveined shrimp
- 1 tablespoon Cajun blackening seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Vegetables and Wrap
- 1 small cucumber
- 1 medium tomato
- 1 head romaine lettuce
- 4 large tortilla shells
Dressing and Cheese
- 1/2 cup creamy Caesar dressing
- 1 tablespoon shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Prepare Vegetables: Dice the tomato and cucumber into 1/2-inch pieces and cut the romaine lettuce into 1 to 1 1/2-inch pieces. Set all aside for assembly.
- Season Shrimp: Rinse the shrimp and pat dry. Place them in a medium bowl, then add Cajun seasoning, salt, and cayenne pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
- Preheat Griddle: Heat your griddle to medium heat. Pour and evenly spread olive oil on the griddle surface to prevent sticking and to help cook the shrimp properly.
- Cook Shrimp: Place the seasoned shrimp on the griddle and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes until they develop a blackened crust. Flip and cook the other side for another 1 1/2 to 2 minutes until shrimp are opaque and cooked through.
- Let Shrimp Cool & Warm Tortillas: Remove shrimp from the griddle and let them cool for 10 minutes. While cooling, briefly heat the tortillas on the griddle to soften and warm them for wrapping.
- Combine Salad Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the cooled shrimp with lettuce, cucumber, and tomato. Drizzle Caesar dressing over the mix and toss gently to combine flavors.
- Assemble Wraps: Lay a warmed tortilla flat and place a portion of the shrimp salad center on it. Sprinkle shredded Parmesan cheese on top.
- Wrap & Serve: Carefully fold the tortilla around the filling, ensuring ingredients are secure within. Slice the wrap diagonally at a 45-degree angle and serve immediately.
Notes
- Be careful not to overcook shrimp; they cook quickly and can become tough if left too long on the griddle.
- You can adjust the amount of cayenne pepper based on your preferred spice level.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute the tortilla shells with gluten-free wraps.
- Make sure to pat shrimp dry before seasoning to help the spices adhere better and achieve that authentic blackened effect.
- Use fresh, high-quality Caesar dressing for the best flavor balance with the spicy shrimp.
