Ingredients
Scale
Shrimp and Seasoning
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Wrap Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Caesar dressing
- 4 large flour tortillas or wraps
- 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)
- 1/4 cup croutons, crushed (optional)
Instructions
- Season the Shrimp: In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated, ensuring flavor penetrates each piece.
- Cook the Shrimp: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove from heat and let them cool slightly to maintain texture.
- Prepare the Caesar Salad Mixture: In a large bowl, combine chopped romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing, grated Parmesan cheese, and halved cherry tomatoes if using. Toss them together gently to distribute the dressing and cheese evenly.
- Add Cooked Shrimp: Incorporate the cooled shrimp into the salad mixture and toss gently to coat the shrimp with the Caesar dressing and blend all the flavors.
- Warm Tortillas: Slightly warm the flour tortillas to make them pliable and easier to roll without cracking.
- Assemble Wraps: Spoon the shrimp Caesar mixture into the center of each warm tortilla. Sprinkle with crushed croutons for added crunch if desired.
- Roll and Serve: Carefully roll each tortilla into a wrap, slice in half diagonally, and serve immediately for the best taste and freshness.
Notes
- For extra flavor, try using grilled or blackened shrimp instead of sautéed.
- Substitute whole wheat wraps or low-carb tortillas to suit dietary preferences.
- To add more crunch and freshness, include sliced cucumbers or bell peppers inside the wraps.
