Ingredients

Scale

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 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.
  2. 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.
  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: Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper according to your preference.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
