Ingredients
Scale
For the Grilled Shrimp:
- 1½ pounds (680 g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
For the Caesar Filling:
- 1 large head romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1/2 cup (50 g) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) Caesar dressing
- 1/2 cup seasoned croutons, lightly crushed
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
For Assembly:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- Lemon wedges
- Extra Parmesan cheese
- Freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Marinate the shrimp: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, Italian seasoning, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss with the shrimp and let marinate for 15–20 minutes.
- Grill the shrimp: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove and let rest briefly.
- Prepare the Caesar filling: Toss the chopped romaine lettuce with the Caesar dressing. Add the Parmesan cheese, crushed croutons, and parsley.
- Warm the tortillas: Heat the tortillas for a few seconds on each side until soft and flexible.
- Assemble the wraps: Place the Caesar salad mixture in the center of each tortilla. Top with grilled shrimp and sprinkle with extra Parmesan cheese.
- Wrap and serve: Fold the sides inward, roll tightly, slice in half, and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
Notes
- Do not overcook the shrimp—they cook very quickly.
- Dress the lettuce just before assembling to keep it crisp.
- Warm tortillas to prevent cracking while rolling.
- Freshly grated Parmesan gives the best flavor and texture.
- Store the shrimp, lettuce, and dressing separately for meal prep.
- Add avocado, tomatoes, or cucumbers for extra freshness.
