Ingredients
Scale
Shrimp and Seasoning
- 1 pound Shrimp (fresh or frozen, thawed and patted dry)
- Your favorite spices, such as garlic powder and paprika, for seasoning
Wrap Components
- 4 whole wheat Tortillas
- 2 cups Romaine Lettuce (washed and thoroughly dried)
- 1/2 cup Caesar Dressing (homemade or store-bought)
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese (can substitute with nutritional yeast)
- 1/4 cup Bacon Bits or Croutons (gluten-free croutons available)
Instructions
- Prepare the Shrimp: Start by seasoning the shrimp with your preferred spices, such as garlic powder and paprika. Make sure the shrimp are evenly coated to infuse flavor.
- Grill the Shrimp: Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Place the seasoned shrimp on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque. Avoid overcooking to keep them juicy.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay out each whole wheat tortilla flat. Spread a layer of Caesar dressing evenly across the tortilla. Add a portion of romaine lettuce, followed by grilled shrimp, sprinkle Parmesan cheese, and top with bacon bits or croutons for crunch.
- Wrap it Up: Fold the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly to enclose the filling securely. Slice in half if desired for easier handling.
- Serve: Serve the wraps immediately while the shrimp are warm for the best taste and texture. Enjoy your quick, delicious grilled shrimp Caesar wraps!
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, substitute shrimp with grilled tofu or tempeh and use vegetarian Caesar dressing.
- Use gluten-free tortillas and croutons if gluten sensitivity is a concern.
- Homemade Caesar dressing can enhance flavor and control ingredients.
- If using frozen shrimp, ensure they are fully thawed and patted dry for best grilling results.
- To add extra zest, include a squeeze of lemon juice over the grilled shrimp before assembling.
