1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp lemon juice

How to Make Grilled Shrimp Caesar Wraps

Prepare the Shrimp: In a bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until well coated.
Grill the Shrimp: Preheat your grill (or grill pan) over medium-high heat. Grill the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from the heat and squeeze lemon juice over the shrimp for that extra zing.
Make the Caesar Dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assemble the Wraps: Warm the tortillas in a skillet for about 30 seconds, just until pliable. Spread a generous layer of Caesar dressing on each tortilla.
Layer on Ingredients: Top the dressing with grilled shrimp, chopped romaine lettuce, shaved Parmesan cheese, and any optional toppings like turkey bacon and croutons.
Wrap It Up: Carefully fold the sides of each tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom up to secure all those delicious fillings.
Serve and Enjoy: Slice the wraps in half and serve immediately, and be prepared to enjoy every bite!

Variations & Creative Twists

Zesty Lime-Turmeric Shrimp: For a tropical twist, marinate your shrimp in lime juice and sprinkle with turmeric for vibrant color and flavor.
Avocado Bliss: Add creamy avocado slices for an indulgent touch that complements the other flavors beautifully.
Spicy Kick: Drizzle with a spicy Sriracha or chipotle sauce to kick up the heat.
Crunch Factor: Swap croutons for crispy fried onions or even crispy chickpeas for an unexpected crunch.

Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

Make Ahead: Prep your shrimp and dressing ahead of time; they can sit in the refrigerator for a day. Just assemble the wraps when you’re ready to serve.
Ingredient Swaps: Use grilled chicken instead of shrimp for a different protein option.
Storage Suggestions: Keep leftover wraps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Rewarm them in the air fryer or skillet!
Slicing: When you slice your wraps, use a sharp knife to get neat, clean cuts, showcasing all the colorful layers inside.
