Notes

Grilled Shrimp Caesar Wraps - Helpful Tips

Cooking Tips & Techniques
  • Marinate shrimp with olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper for at least 15 minutes before grilling for maximum flavor.
  • Use skewers or a grill basket to keep shrimp from falling through the grates.
  • Grill shrimp just 2–3 minutes per side—overcooking makes them rubbery.
  • Toss romaine in Caesar dressing before wrapping so every bite is coated.
  • Warm your tortillas slightly before filling so they roll up without tearing.
Serving Suggestions
  • Pair with sweet potato fries, chips, or a light side salad.
  • Drizzle extra Caesar dressing inside the wrap for added creaminess.
  • Add Parmesan shavings and crouton crumbles inside for crunch.
Make-Ahead & Storage
  • Grill shrimp ahead of time and store in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Assemble wraps fresh for the best texture (lettuce wilts if left too long).
  • If storing, wrap tightly in foil and refrigerate—best eaten within 24 hours.
Fun Variations
  • Spicy Caesar Wrap: Add a drizzle of sriracha or use chipotle Caesar dressing.
  • Greek Twist: Swap Caesar dressing for tzatziki, add cucumbers and olives.
  • Low-Carb Option: Use large romaine leaves instead of tortillas.
  • Surf & Turf: Add grilled steak strips with the shrimp.
  • Protein Boost: Toss in hard-boiled eggs or crispy chickpeas.
