Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Step 2: Grill the shrimp over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and drizzle with lemon juice.
  3. Step 3: To make the Caesar dressing, whisk together mayonnaise, grated Parmesan, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Step 4: Warm the flour tortillas briefly in a skillet for about 30 seconds each to make them pliable.
  5. Step 5: Spread a generous layer of Caesar dressing on each tortilla, then add grilled shrimp, chopped romaine lettuce, shaved Parmesan, and, if desired, croutons and crumbled bacon.
  6. Step 6: Fold the sides of each tortilla inward and roll tightly from the bottom up to form wraps.
  7. Step 7: Slice the wraps in half and serve immediately for a fresh, flavorful meal.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra flavor, marinate the shrimp in lemon juice and garlic for 15 minutes before cooking.
  • Substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise in the dressing for a lighter option.
  • Try using whole wheat or spinach tortillas for added nutrition and color.
  • Add avocado slices or cherry tomatoes inside the wrap for freshness and texture.

Storage

Store any leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To prevent sogginess, keep the dressing separate and assemble just before serving. Reheat the shrimp gently in a skillet or enjoy cold, then assemble with fresh lettuce and dressing.

FAQs

Can I use frozen shrimp for this recipe?

Yes, frozen shrimp can be used. Thaw them completely and pat dry before seasoning and grilling to ensure a good sear and prevent excess moisture.

What can I substitute if I don’t have Worcestershire sauce?

You can substitute with a splash of soy sauce mixed with a small amount of lemon juice or balsamic vinegar to mimic the savory tang of Worcestershire sauce.
