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
- Prepare the Shrimp: In a bowl, toss the peeled and deveined shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to evenly coat. This seasoning blend will infuse the shrimp with a smoky and tangy flavor.
- Grill the Shrimp: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque, indicating they are fully cooked and juicy.
- 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. Season with salt and pepper to taste for balanced flavor.
- Warm the Tortillas: Heat a skillet over medium heat and warm each flour tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side, making them pliable and ready to wrap.
- Assemble the Wraps: Spread a generous layer of Caesar dressing on each warmed tortilla. Top with grilled shrimp, chopped romaine lettuce, shaved Parmesan cheese, and optional croutons and crumbled bacon for added texture and flavor.
- Roll the Wraps: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll from the bottom up tightly to secure all the fillings inside, creating a neat and portable wrap.
- Serve and Enjoy: Slice each wrap in half if desired, serve immediately while warm, and enjoy your delicious Grilled Shrimp Caesar Wraps.
Notes
- For a low-carb option, substitute flour tortillas with large lettuce leaves or low-carb wraps.
- Optional additions such as croutons and bacon add extra crunch and flavor but can be omitted for a lighter wrap.
- Make sure not to overcook the shrimp to keep them tender and juicy.
- Caesar dressing can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Use fresh lemon juice for the best bright flavor in both the shrimp marinade and the dressing.
