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 until they are evenly coated.
Grill the Shrimp: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side or until they turn pink and are opaque throughout, then remove from heat.
Make the Caesar Dressing: In a medium 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 taste.
Warm the Tortillas: Heat a skillet over medium heat and warm each flour tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side until soft and pliable.
Assemble the Wraps: Spread a generous layer of the Caesar dressing evenly over each warmed tortilla. Top with grilled shrimp, chopped romaine lettuce, shaved Parmesan cheese, and if desired, add crumbled bacon and croutons.
Fold and Roll: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and then roll tightly from the bottom up to enclose the filling securely.
Serve: Slice each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt in the dressing.
Ensure shrimp are deveined and patted dry for better grilling results.
Optional toppings like bacon and croutons add extra crunch and flavor but can be omitted for a simpler wrap.
Use fresh lemon juice for best dressing flavor.
Grilling shrimp quickly over high heat prevents overcooking and keeps them juicy.
