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 pepper, to taste
Wrap Components
- 4 flour tortillas
- 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- 1 cup croutons
- 1/2 cup Caesar dressing
Instructions
- Marinate the Shrimp: In a medium bowl, combine the raw shrimp with olive oil, granulated garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat the shrimp evenly. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Preheat the Grill: Prepare your grill to medium-high heat to cook the shrimp and tortillas.
- 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, ensuring they are cooked through but still juicy.
- Grill the Tortillas: Place the flour tortillas on the grill for approximately 30 seconds per side until they develop light char marks and become warm and pliable.
- Prepare the Shrimp Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grilled shrimp (chopped if desired), chopped romaine lettuce, croutons, and Caesar dressing. Toss everything together until the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay each grilled tortilla flat and spoon a generous portion of the shrimp mixture onto the center. Wrap tightly by folding in the sides and rolling up from the bottom to the top.
- Serve: Serve the wraps immediately while warm to enjoy the perfect combination of smoky shrimp and creamy Caesar flavors.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the shrimp marinade.
- If preferred, substitute the flour tortillas with whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas.
- Use low-fat Caesar dressing to reduce calories without sacrificing taste.
- To keep croutons crispy, add them just before serving instead of tossing them early.
- If grilling is not available, shrimp can be cooked in a hot skillet over medium-high heat for similar results.
