Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • Quick and easy—ready in under 30 minutes
  • Perfectly grilled, garlicky shrimp
  • Cool and crisp Caesar crunch
  • Totally customizable and meal-prep friendly
  • Great for lunchboxes, light dinners, or even backyard BBQs

Ingredients

For the Shrimp

  • ⏺ 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • ⏺ 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ⏺ 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ⏺ Salt and pepper to taste

For the Wraps

  • ⏺ 4 large flour tortillas
  • ⏺ 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
  • ⏺ ½ cup Caesar dressing (ensure it’s halal)
  • ⏺ ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • ⏺ Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Shrimp

In a bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

Step 2: Grill the Shrimp

Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Cook the shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side, or until they’re pink, opaque, and have a light char. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3: Warm the Tortillas

Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them soft and pliable.

Step 4: Assemble the Wraps

Lay each tortilla flat. Fill with a handful of chopped romaine, a drizzle of Caesar dressing, a few grilled shrimp, and a sprinkle of Parmesan (if using). Give each wrap a gentle squeeze of lemon for extra zing.

Step 5: Wrap and Serve

Fold up the bottom of the tortilla, then roll tightly into a wrap. Slice in half if you’d like and serve immediately with more lemon wedges on the side.

Tips for Wrap Perfection

  • Don’t overfill your wraps—it makes rolling easier and less messy
  • Make it spicy by adding a dash of hot sauce or crushed red pepper
  • Add extras like sliced avocado, tomatoes, or crispy onions
  • Meal prep idea: Store grilled shrimp, chopped lettuce, and dressing separately and assemble fresh when ready to eat

FAQs

Can I use frozen shrimp?
Absolutely! Just thaw them completely and pat dry before seasoning and grilling.

How can I make these dairy-free?
Use a dairy-free Caesar dressing and skip the Parmesan. They’re still super flavorful!

What if I don’t have a grill?
A hot skillet or grill pan works just as well—just aim for those golden sear marks!

These Grilled Shrimp Caesar Wraps are light, flavorful, and oh-so-satisfying—whether you’re whipping them up for a busy weeknight dinner or packing them for a sunny lunch al fresco. With smoky shrimp, creamy dressing, and fresh crunch all wrapped up in one tasty bite, they’re guaranteed to hit the spot.

So grab your tongs, fire up the grill, and roll into something seriously delicious. You’ll want to make these again and again!
