Ingredients
Scale
Shrimp Marinade
- 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Wrap Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- 1 cup croutons
- 1/2 cup Caesar dressing
Instructions
- Marinate the Shrimp: In a mixing bowl, combine the raw shrimp with olive oil, granulated garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat the shrimp evenly with the marinade. Allow it to sit for 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, ensuring it is properly oiled to prevent sticking.
- Grill the Shrimp: Place the marinated shrimp on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and slightly charred. Remove them from the grill and set aside.
- Grill the Tortillas: Place the flour tortillas on the grill and heat for approximately 30 seconds per side until they are warm and lightly charred. Remove from the grill.
- Assemble the Wraps: In a large bowl, combine the grilled shrimp, chopped romaine lettuce, croutons, and Caesar dressing. Toss everything until the mixture is evenly coated with dressing.
- Wrap and Serve: Divide the shrimp mixture evenly among the grilled tortillas. Wrap them tightly and serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, smoky flavors.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add freshly grated Parmesan cheese to the shrimp mixture before assembling the wraps.
- If preferred, use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas to suit dietary needs.
- To make ahead, grill the shrimp and tortillas separately and assemble just before serving to keep the tortillas from becoming soggy.
- Caesar dressing can be substituted with a lighter yogurt-based Caesar to reduce calories.
- Ensure shrimp are fully cooked but not overdone to maintain juiciness and tenderness.
