Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 1 pound (454 grams) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
Seasonings and Oils:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Wrap Components:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) Caesar dressing
- 1/2 cup (50 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Fire up the grill to 400°F, creating a medium-high heat zone for optimal cooking.
- Coat raw shrimp generously with olive oil, then season with kosher salt and cracked black pepper, ensuring even coverage.
- Arrange shrimp directly on clean grill grates, cooking 2-3 minutes per side until they transform into a vibrant pink color and develop light char marks.
- While shrimp are grilling, quickly toast tortillas on the grill’s edge for approximately 20-30 seconds per side to enhance flexibility and add subtle smoky flavor.
- Create the wrap foundation by laying down crisp romaine lettuce as the base layer inside each warm tortilla.
- Drizzle creamy Caesar dressing across the lettuce, providing a tangy and rich flavor profile.
- Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the dressing, adding a salty and nutty dimension.
- Carefully distribute grilled shrimp evenly across the prepared tortillas, ensuring each wrap receives an equal portion.
- Tightly roll the tortillas, folding in the sides to prevent filling from spilling, creating a compact and portable meal.
- Slice wraps diagonally and serve immediately while ingredients remain warm and textures are at their peak.
Notes
- Marinate shrimp in garlic and lemon juice for extra flavor depth before grilling.
- Use gluten-free tortillas to make this recipe celiac-friendly and accommodate dietary restrictions.
- Pat shrimp completely dry before seasoning to ensure crispy, perfectly charred exterior when grilling.
- Substitute Greek yogurt for part of the Caesar dressing to reduce calories and boost protein content.
