Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Shrimp

• 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp paprika (adds that subtle smoky note)
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp lemon juice

For the Caesar Dressing

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the Wraps

• 4 large flour tortillas (or gluten-free if you prefer)

• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, shaved
• 1/2 cup croutons (optional, for crunch lovers)
• 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled (optional but highly encouraged)

How To Make Grilled Shrimp Caesar Wraps

1. Grill the Shrimp

Toss your shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, pepper, salt, and lemon juice. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Place the shrimp directly on the grill grates or use a grill basket if you’re worried about any escape artists. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until they’re pink and opaque. Important tip: shrimp go from perfect to rubber band in seconds, so keep an eye on them.

2. Make the Caesar Dressing

In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Parmesan, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic. Taste and season with salt and pepper. If you like your dressing tangier, add a little extra lemon juice.

3. Assemble the Wraps

Warm tortillas in a skillet or the microwave for 20–30 seconds to make them more pliable. Spread each tortilla with a generous layer of Caesar dressing.
Add chopped romaine, grilled shrimp, shaved Parmesan, and any extras like croutons or bacon. Fold the sides in, then roll from the bottom up to seal everything inside.

Tips for Wrap Success

• Pre-wash your lettuce earlier in the day so it’s extra crisp and ready to go.
• Double the shrimp if you want leftovers—they’re delicious on a salad the next day.
• Want extra flavor? Marinate your shrimp in the olive oil and spices for 15–20 minutes before grilling.
• If you’re making these for kids, skip the croutons inside the wrap and serve them on the side (less mess factor).

My Little Caesar Wrap Story

This wrap became a summer staple in my house after a last-minute fridge raid one evening. I had leftover shrimp from a BBQ, half a head of romaine, and a jar of Caesar dressing I’d made earlier that week. Ten minutes later, my kids were devouring wraps like they’d been starved for days, and my husband was asking if we could “do this again tomorrow.” Spoiler: we did.
