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.
