Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 1 pound (454 grams) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
Seasonings and Oils:
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) olive oil
- 1 teaspoon (5 grams) garlic powder
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Wrap Components:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups (140 grams) romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) Caesar dressing (ensure it’s halal)
- 1/4 cup (25 grams) grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Heat the outdoor grill to a medium-high temperature, ensuring the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
- Create a flavorful marinade by mixing olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl, then thoroughly coat the raw shrimp in the seasoning mixture.
- Position the marinated shrimp directly on the preheated grill grates, cooking for approximately 2-3 minutes per side until they transform into a vibrant pink color and become completely opaque.
- Remove the perfectly grilled shrimp from the heat and let them rest momentarily while preparing the wrap assembly station.
- Spread out fresh tortillas on a clean work surface, creating a foundation for the wrap.
- Layer crisp chopped romaine lettuce across the center of each tortilla, creating a verdant base for the protein.
- Carefully arrange the grilled shrimp atop the lettuce, distributing them evenly for consistent flavor in each bite.
- Drizzle Caesar dressing generously over the shrimp and lettuce, ensuring complete coverage.
- Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese to add a rich, savory dimension to the wrap.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly to encase the fillings completely.
- Slice the wraps diagonally and serve immediately, accompanied by bright lemon wedges for an optional citrusy squeeze.
Notes
- Swap tortillas for gluten-free or lettuce wraps to accommodate dietary restrictions.
- Marinate shrimp in advance for deeper flavor infusion, using herbs like parsley or dill.
- Choose wild-caught shrimp for better sustainability and richer taste profile.
- Grill vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers alongside shrimp for added nutrition and color variety.
