Ingredients
Scale
Shrimp and Seasoning
- 1 pound medium shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Wrap Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Caesar dressing
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup croutons (lightly crushed)
For Serving (Optional)
- Lemon wedges
Instructions
- Prepare the shrimp: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season shrimp with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add seasoned shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until they turn pink and are fully cooked through. Remove from heat and allow shrimp to cool slightly.
- Toss shrimp in dressing: In a large bowl, combine the cooked shrimp with Caesar dressing. Toss thoroughly until all shrimp pieces are evenly coated with the dressing, enhancing their flavor.
- Warm the tortillas: Gently warm the flour tortillas to make them pliable, which helps in rolling them without cracking.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay each warmed tortilla flat and evenly distribute the chopped romaine lettuce, dressed shrimp, grated Parmesan cheese, and lightly crushed croutons among them.
- Roll and serve: Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll tightly to form a wrap. Slice in half if desired and serve immediately with optional lemon wedges to add a fresh citrus kick.
Notes
- For added crunch and freshness, opt for romaine hearts instead of regular chopped romaine.
- Use grilled or pre-cooked shrimp for convenience and a smoky flavor.
- Swap flour tortillas for whole wheat or low-carb wraps to tailor the dish to dietary preferences.
