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 evenly coated for maximum flavor.
- Grill the Shrimp: Heat the grill and cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque, indicating they are fully cooked and tender.
- 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. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
- Warm the Tortillas: Heat a skillet over medium heat and warm each flour tortilla for about 30 seconds per side to make them pliable and enhance flavor.
- Assemble the Wraps: Spread a generous layer of the Caesar dressing evenly over each warm tortilla. Then layer grilled shrimp, chopped romaine lettuce, shaved Parmesan cheese, and if desired, crumbled bacon and croutons for added crunch.
- Roll the Wraps: Fold the sides of each tortilla inward and then roll tightly from the bottom up to enclose all the fillings securely for easy eating.
- Serve and Enjoy: Slice each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavors and textures at their best.
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the shrimp for 15 minutes before grilling.
- Bacon and croutons are optional but add lovely crunch and savory notes to the wrap.
- Use low-fat or light mayonnaise for a lighter dressing version.
- Warm tortillas carefully to avoid tearing and to make wrapping easier.
- Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an added citrus kick.
