Ingredients
– 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon lemon zest
– 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
– Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
– 4 large flour tortillas
– 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
– 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, shaved or grated
– 1/2 cup creamy Caesar dressing
– 1/2 cup croutons, coarsely chopped
Instructions
1. **Marinate the Shrimp**: In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly. Let the shrimp marinate for about 10-15 minutes.
2. **Grill the Shrimp**: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and opaque. Remove from the grill and set aside.
3. **Warm the Tortillas**: Place the flour tortillas on the grill for about 10-15 seconds per side until they are lightly charred and warm.
4. **Assemble the Wraps**: Lay out the warmed tortillas on a flat surface. Spread a generous amount of Caesar dressing on each tortilla. Layer with chopped romaine lettuce, grilled shrimp, croutons, and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
5. **Wrap and Serve**: Fold in the sides of the tortillas and then roll up tightly from the bottom to form a wrap. Cut wraps in half diagonally and serve immediately.
Notes
– For a lighter version, use whole wheat tortillas and low-fat Caesar dressing.
– Add diced tomatoes or avocado for extra flavor and nutrition.
– To prevent shrimp from sticking to the grill, ensure the grill is well-oiled and preheated before adding the shrimp.
– If using wooden skewers for grilling, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
