Ingredients

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

  1. 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 the seasoning.
  2. Grill the Shrimp: Preheat the grill and cook the shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side until they become pink, opaque, and slightly charred, ensuring they are perfectly cooked and flavorful.
  3. 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 and creamy.
  4. Season the Dressing: Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to the dressing to taste, adjusting it until well balanced.
  5. Warm the Tortillas: Heat a skillet over medium heat and briefly warm each flour tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side to make them pliable and enhance flavor.
  6. Assemble the Wraps: Spread a generous layer of the Caesar dressing onto each warm tortilla, then layer with grilled shrimp, chopped romaine lettuce, shaved Parmesan cheese, and optional toppings such as croutons and crumbled bacon.
  7. Wrap and Serve: Fold the sides of each tortilla inward and roll tightly from the bottom up to enclose the fillings. Slice each wrap in half and serve immediately for the freshest taste.

Notes

  • For extra smoky flavor, marinate the shrimp for 15 minutes before grilling.
  • To make the wraps gluten-free, substitute flour tortillas with gluten-free wraps or large lettuce leaves.
  • Croutons and bacon are optional but add nice texture and flavor contrast.
  • Leftover wraps can be wrapped tightly in foil and refrigerated for up to 24 hours but are best enjoyed fresh.
  • Grill shrimp carefully to avoid overcooking, which can make them tough.
