Ingredients

Scale

The key to this dish lies in selecting the right ingredients that bring out the best flavors without complicating the process. I always prioritize fresh shrimp — peeled and deveined — for that sweet, tender texture that grills beautifully. When it comes to Caesar dressing, I prefer making a quick homemade version to control the garlic and anchovy balance, but a good-quality store-bought dressing works just fine on busy days. For the wraps, soft flour tortillas hold everything together without overpowering the flavors inside.

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup Caesar dressing (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced (optional, for extra flavor)
  • Fresh lemon wedges, for serving

Substitution tip: If you prefer, whole wheat or spinach tortillas add a nice twist and extra nutrients. For a dairy-free option, swap Parmesan for a sprinkle of nutritional yeast or omit it altogether.

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. This ensures a nice char without overcooking the shrimp.
  2. In a bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, smoked paprika, minced garlic (if using), salt, and pepper. Make sure each shrimp is evenly coated for maximum flavor.
  3. Thread the shrimp onto skewers or place directly on the grill. Grill for about 2-3 minutes per side, until shrimp turn pink and opaque. Avoid overcooking to keep them juicy.
  4. While the shrimp cooks, warm the tortillas briefly on the grill or in a dry skillet to make them more pliable.
  5. Lay a tortilla flat and spread about 2 tablespoons of Caesar dressing down the center.
  6. Add a handful of chopped romaine, a few grilled shrimp, and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
  7. Roll up the tortilla tightly, folding in the sides as you go to secure the filling.
  8. Serve immediately with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top, adding a fresh brightness that cuts through the richness.
