Introduction

Grilled Shrimp Caesar Wraps combine the smoky flavor of perfectly grilled shrimp with the creamy tang of Caesar dressing wrapped in a soft tortilla. This easy-to-make meal is great for a quick lunch or light dinner, offering a fresh twist on a classic Caesar salad.

The image shows a close-up of two large tortilla wraps cut in half and stacked on a white plate. Each wrap has three visible layers: the outer layer is the light brown patterned tortilla, the middle layer is green lettuce leaves that add a fresh, leafy texture, and the innermost layer contains cooked shrimp with a pink-orange color mixed with chunks of orange bell pepper and a creamy white sauce. The shrimp look lightly grilled with some char marks, and the filling is slightly spilling out with a woman's hand holding one wrap from the side. The background features a white marbled surface.

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)
Salt and pepper to taste
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

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

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, marinate the shrimp in lemon juice and a pinch of chili flakes before grilling.
Swap the mayonnaise in the dressing for Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
Use whole wheat or spinach tortillas to add more nutrients and variety.
Try adding sliced avocado or cherry tomatoes inside the wrap for a fresh twist.
If you don’t have a grill, cook the shrimp in a hot skillet for similar results.

Storage

Store any leftover wraps wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or foil in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. For best texture, reheat gently in a skillet to avoid soggy tortillas. It’s best to keep the dressing and shrimp separate if you plan to store for longer, then assemble fresh before serving.
