Ingredients

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
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
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

Step 1: In a bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Step 2: Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and drizzle with lemon juice.
Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, grated Parmesan, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic to make the Caesar dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 4: Warm the flour tortillas in a skillet for about 30 seconds until soft and pliable.
Step 5: Spread a generous layer of the Caesar dressing over each tortilla.
Step 6: Top with grilled shrimp, chopped romaine lettuce, shaved Parmesan, and optional croutons and bacon.
Step 7: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom up to form a wrap.
Step 8: Slice the wraps in half and serve immediately while the shrimp is warm and the lettuce crisp.

Tips & Variations

For extra smoky flavor, add a dash of smoked paprika to the shrimp marinade.
Swap grilled shrimp for grilled chicken for a different protein option.
Use whole wheat or spinach tortillas to add more nutrients and color.
Make the wraps vegetarian by replacing shrimp with grilled vegetables like zucchini and bell peppers.
Toast the tortillas slightly longer for a crispier wrap texture.

Storage

Store leftover grilled shrimp and Caesar dressing separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Assemble wraps just before serving to keep the tortillas from becoming soggy. Reheat the shrimp gently in a skillet or microwave before filling the wraps.

How to Serve
