Equipment
- Grill or stovetop grill pan
- Mixing bowls
- Knife and cutting board
- Tongs or spatula
- Salad spinner (optional but recommended)
- Measuring spoons
Ingredients
- 1 lb medium-large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 4 large flour tortillas (or whole wheat/spinach wraps)
- 4 cups romaine lettuce, washed and chopped
- ½ cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Optional: croutons for crunch
- Optional: red pepper flakes for spice
Instructions
- In a bowl, toss shrimp with olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Let marinate for 10–15 minutes.
- Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or pan.
- Grill shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove from heat.
- Meanwhile, toss chopped romaine lettuce with Caesar dressing in a large bowl.
- Warm tortillas briefly to soften (microwave for 15 seconds or warm in a dry skillet).
- Assemble wraps by layering dressed lettuce, grilled shrimp, and Parmesan cheese on each tortilla. Add croutons or red pepper flakes if desired.
- Fold in sides and roll tightly to enclose filling. Serve immediately, optionally slicing in half.
Notes
- To avoid soggy wraps, dry lettuce thoroughly and add dressing just before assembling.
- Substitute grilled chicken or tofu for shrimp to vary proteins.
- For gluten-free options, use gluten-free wraps or large lettuce leaves as wraps.
- Leftover grilled shrimp can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Warm tortillas make rolling easier and prevent cracking.
- Homemade Caesar dressing offers fresher flavor but store-bought is a great shortcut.
