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 shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to coat evenly and infuse flavors.
- Grill the Shrimp: Preheat your grill or grill pan. Cook shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque, indicating they are fully cooked.
- Make the Caesar Dressing: In a mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic to create a creamy dressing.
- Season the Dressing: Add salt and pepper to taste, adjusting seasoning until balanced and flavorful.
- Warm the Tortillas: Heat a skillet over medium heat and warm each flour tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side to make them pliable.
- Assemble the Wraps: Spread a generous layer of Caesar dressing over each warm tortilla. Add the grilled shrimp, chopped romaine lettuce, shaved Parmesan cheese, and optional toppings like crumbled bacon and croutons.
- Wrap it Up: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom up to enclose the ingredients.
- Serve: Slice each wrap in half and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- To keep wraps crisp, add croutons just before serving.
- For a low-carb option, substitute flour tortillas with lettuce leaves.
- Use pre-cooked bacon to save time during assembly.
- If you do not have a grill, a grill pan or skillet on the stovetop works equally well to cook the shrimp.
- Adjust seasoning and spice levels according to taste preferences.
