Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 large tortillas
  • 1/2 cup Caesar dressing
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
  • Olive oil, for grilling
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional Extras:

  • Croutons, for extra crunch
  • Fresh lemon juice, for a zesty kick

What You’ll Need for Prep

  • Grill (or a grill pan)
  • Tongs for flipping the shrimp
  • Large bowl for tossing ingredients
  • Sharp knife for chopping romaine

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Season and Grill the Shrimp

Toss the shrimp in a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill them over medium heat until they’re pink and slightly charred, about 2-3 minutes per side. The smell when these are on the grill? Incredible!

Step 2: Mix the Filling

In a large bowl, toss the freshly grilled shrimp with Caesar dressing, chopped romaine lettuce, and grated Parmesan cheese. If you’re feeling extra fancy, you can add a handful of croutons for crunch.

Step 3: Assemble the Wraps

Lay out your tortillas and evenly distribute the shrimp mixture down the center of each. Fold up the bottom, tuck in the sides, and roll it up tightly, burrito-style.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

Slice each wrap in half and serve immediately. You could even toast the wrap slightly on the grill or in a skillet for a crispy outer layer.

What to Serve With These Wraps

While these Grilled Shrimp Caesar Wraps are a meal on their own, you can also pair them with:

  • A side of fries or sweet potato wedges
  • Fresh fruit salad for something light and refreshing
  • Or keep it simple with a side of crispy chips and guacamole

Tips for Perfect Grilled Shrimp Caesar Wraps

  • Use fresh shrimp for the best flavor and texture. Frozen shrimp work too, but fresh really shines here!
  • Warm your tortillas slightly before wrapping to prevent cracking.
  • Add some zest by squeezing a bit of lemon juice over the shrimp mixture before wrapping.
  • Grill the wrap if you want a toasty, crispy outer shell. Just a minute or two on each side will do!

Storage Instructions

These wraps are best served fresh, but if you have leftovers:

  • Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or foil and store in the fridge for up to one day. The lettuce might lose some of its crunch, but they’ll still be tasty!
  • Reheat by lightly grilling or microwaving for a few seconds to warm the shrimp without making the lettuce too soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I use chicken instead of shrimp?

Absolutely! Grilled chicken works just as well in this recipe if you’re not a shrimp fan.

Are there any good substitutions for Caesar dressing?

If you’re not a fan of Caesar dressing, you could swap it for ranch, garlic aioli, or even a light yogurt-based dressing for a healthier twist.

Can I make this wrap gluten-free?

Yes! Simply swap out the tortillas for gluten-free tortillas, and you’re good to go.
