Ingredients
Scale
Shrimp and Seasoning
- 1 pound Shrimp (Fresh or frozen, thawed and patted dry)
- Seasoning (Your favorite spices, such as garlic powder and paprika)
Wrap Components
- 4 pieces Tortillas (Whole wheat is preferred)
- 2 cups Romaine Lettuce (Washed and thoroughly dried)
- 1/2 cup Caesar Dressing (Homemade or store-bought)
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese (Can substitute with nutritional yeast)
- 1/4 cup Bacon Bits or Croutons (Gluten-free croutons are available)
Instructions
- Prepare the Shrimp: Rinse the shrimp thoroughly if not already done, then pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Season the shrimp evenly with your chosen spices, focusing on garlic powder and paprika for a tasty balance.
- Grill the Shrimp: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the seasoned shrimp on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until they are pink and opaque, indicating they are fully cooked.
- Prepare the Lettuce and Wrap Base: While the shrimp are grilling, wash and thoroughly dry the romaine lettuce to avoid sogginess. Lay out the whole wheat tortillas on a clean surface.
- Assemble the Wraps: Spread a thin layer of Caesar dressing evenly over each tortilla. Layer on the romaine lettuce, then place the grilled shrimp amounting to roughly a quarter of the total per wrap.
- Add Cheese and Crunch: Sprinkle parmesan cheese and your choice of bacon bits or croutons over the shrimp and lettuce to add flavor and texture to each wrap.
- Wrap and Serve: Fold the bottom of each tortilla up over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly to create the wrap. Serve immediately to enjoy the optimal fresh taste and texture.
Notes
- For a healthier option, use low-fat Caesar dressing or opt for homemade dressing to control ingredients.
- To make the wraps gluten-free, use gluten-free tortillas and gluten-free croutons.
- Substitute parmesan cheese with nutritional yeast for a dairy-free or vegan alternative.
- Ensure shrimp are fully thawed and dried for best grilling results and to avoid steaming instead of grilling.
- These wraps can be lightly toasted in a pan or grill press after assembling for a warm, crispy finish.
