Ingredients
Shrimp and Marinade
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Caesar Salad
- 4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1/4 cup Caesar dressing
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup croutons, lightly crushed
Wrap Components
- 4 large flour tortillas or wraps
- Optional: lemon wedges for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Shrimp: In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Cook the Shrimp: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove from heat.
- Assemble the Caesar Salad: In a large bowl, combine chopped romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing, grated Parmesan cheese, and crushed croutons. Toss gently to coat everything evenly.
- Prepare the Wraps: Warm the tortillas slightly to make them pliable by heating them in a dry skillet for 15-20 seconds per side or microwaving for 10 seconds.
- Fill the Wraps: Lay each tortilla flat and spoon an even amount of Caesar salad down the center. Top with cooked shrimp.
- Roll the Wraps: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll tightly from the bottom up to enclose the filling securely.
- Serve: Slice each wrap in half if desired, garnish with lemon wedges, and serve immediately for best freshness and texture.
Notes
- Use cooked shrimp leftover from other meals to save time.
- For a lighter option, use Greek yogurt-based Caesar dressing or make your own from scratch.
- Gluten-free tortillas or lettuce wraps can be substituted to accommodate dietary needs.
- Add sliced avocado or cherry tomatoes for extra flavor and nutrients.
- Crisp the wraps in a hot skillet for 1-2 minutes if you prefer a warm, slightly toasted wrap.
