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)
- Prepare the Shrimp: In a mixing bowl, toss the peeled and deveined shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice until evenly coated to ensure flavorful shrimp.
- Grill the Shrimp: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, then grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side or until they turn pink and opaque, indicating they are fully cooked and juicy.
- 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 the Dressing: Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper according to your preference.
- Warm the Tortillas: Heat a skillet over medium heat and warm each flour tortilla for about 30 seconds per side to make them pliable for wrapping.
- Assemble the Wraps: Spread a generous layer of the Caesar dressing evenly over each warm tortilla. Add grilled shrimp, chopped romaine lettuce, shaved Parmesan cheese, and optionally sprinkle crumbled bacon and croutons on top.
- Wrap it Up: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and then roll tightly from the bottom to the top, securing all the fillings inside.
- Serve and Enjoy: Slice each wrap in half diagonally, serve immediately while warm, and enjoy the fresh and savory flavors of this shrimp Caesar wrap.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, substitute flour tortillas with gluten-free tortillas or large lettuce leaves.
- To save time, shrimp can be marinated ahead of time and kept refrigerated for up to 1 hour before grilling.
- Optional bacon and croutons add extra texture and flavor but can be omitted for a lighter wrap.
- Adjust the amount of garlic and lemon juice in the dressing to your taste preference.
- If you don’t have a grill, shrimp can be cooked in a skillet over medium-high heat for similar results.
