Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Large Shrimp: 1 pound peeled and deveined, for juicy, protein-packed goodness. Pat dry for best sear.
  • Romaine Lettuce: 2 hearts chopped; provides crunch and freshness. Avoid frozen greens.
  • Caesar Dressing: 1/2 cup creamy and tangy, the flavor glue of the wrap. Make fresh if possible.
  • Flour Tortillas: 4 large wraps hold everything together perfectly; warm them briefly for pliability.
  • Parmesan Cheese: 1/4 cup freshly grated for nutty, salty depth.
  • Lemon Juice: 1 tablespoon brightens the shrimp and adds zesty pop.
  • Garlic Powder: 1 teaspoon simple way to infuse shrimp with savory aroma.
  • Olive Oil: 2 tablespoons ensures shrimp doesn’t stick and helps seasoning adhere.

Method
 

  1. Get your grill or grill pan hot over medium-high heat. Lightly oil grates to prevent sticking and help shrimp sear beautifully.
  2. In a medium bowl, toss shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, and lemon juice. Make sure each piece is coated for even flavor.
  3. While shrimp cooks, mix chopped romaine with Caesar dressing and Parmesan cheese in a large bowl. Toss gently so the leaves stay crisp.
  4. Place shrimp on the grill and cook 2–3 minutes per side. Pull them off when pink and opaque, with gorgeous char marks.
  5. Lay tortillas flat, place dressed salad in the center, and top with warm shrimp. Fold sides in and roll tightly for easy eating.
  6. Slice the wraps diagonally for a beautiful presentation. Serve while shrimp is warm to enjoy the contrast of textures.

Notes

  • I always pat the shrimp dry to get a perfect sear.
  • Toasting the tortillas gives a smoky flavor and keeps them from tearing.
  • Add a pinch of black pepper to the salad for subtle heat.
  • Don’t overdress the lettuce; it keeps the wrap crisp.
