The image shows two wraps cut in half and stacked on a white plate. Each wrap has a soft light brown tortilla with darker grill marks on the outside. Inside, there are several layers: bright green lettuce close to the tortilla, followed by a creamy white sauce with green herbs. On top, there are large pieces of grilled shrimp with a slight orange and white color and grilled orange-red bell pepper chunks. The texture of the shrimp looks juicy and slightly charred.

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)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Step 2: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and drizzle with lemon juice.
  3. Step 3: To make the Caesar dressing, whisk together mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic in a bowl.
  4. Step 4: Season the dressing with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
  5. Step 5: Warm the flour tortillas in a skillet for about 30 seconds on each side to make them pliable.
  6. Step 6: Spread a generous layer of Caesar dressing onto each warm tortilla.
  7. Step 7: Top with grilled shrimp, chopped romaine lettuce, shaved Parmesan cheese, and, if desired, crumbled bacon and croutons for extra crunch.
  8. Step 8: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom to form a wrap.
  9. Step 9: Slice the wraps in half and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Tips & Variations

  • For a lighter option, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt in the Caesar dressing.
  • Try adding sliced avocado or cherry tomatoes for extra freshness and color.
  • Use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas to suit dietary preferences.
  • If you don’t have a grill, you can cook the shrimp in a skillet on the stove.

Storage

Store any leftover components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Avoid assembling the wraps in advance to keep tortillas from getting soggy. Reheat the shrimp gently in a skillet before assembling, and use fresh lettuce and dressing.

How to Serve

Inside, there is a leafy green lettuce layer close to the tortilla, followed by plump grilled shrimp with light char marks on top. Bright orange pieces of grilled bell pepper peek through among the shrimp. A creamy, pale green sauce or spread is lightly spread around the shrimp and vegetables, adding texture and contrast. The plate sits on a smooth white marbled surface. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make these wraps ahead of time?

It’s best to prepare the shrimp and dressing ahead but assemble the wraps just before serving to keep them crisp and fresh.

What can I use instead of shrimp?

Grilled chicken or tofu are great alternatives that pair well with Caesar dressing and the other wrap ingredients.
