How to Make Garlic Shrimp Caesar Wrap

Ingredients

  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 tsp paprika (optional)
  • 1/2 cup Caesar dressing
  • 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

  1. Cook the Shrimp: In a skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Toss in the shrimp, seasoning with salt, pepper, and paprika if using. Cook the shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are fully cooked. Remove from heat.

  2. Assemble Wraps: Warm the tortillas slightly to make them more pliable. Place a layer of chopped romaine lettuce in the center of each tortilla. Top with the cooked shrimp, drizzle with Caesar dressing, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired.

  3. Wrap & Serve: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly. Serve immediately or wrap in foil for an easy on-the-go meal.

How to Serve Garlic Shrimp Caesar Wrap

You can serve Garlic Shrimp Caesar Wraps as a main dish or alongside a light soup for a complete meal. Pair them with a slice of lemon or some extra Caesar dressing for dipping to enhance the flavors.

How to Store Garlic Shrimp Caesar Wrap

If you have leftovers, store the wraps wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They are best consumed within 1 to 2 days. However, keep the dressing separate to prevent the wraps from getting soggy.

Tips to Make Garlic Shrimp Caesar Wrap

  • For extra flavor, marinate the shrimp in olive oil, garlic, and spices for 15-30 minutes before cooking.
  • Feel free to add other ingredients like cherry tomatoes, avocado, or cucumbers for added freshness.
  • If you prefer a spicy kick, consider adding some red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.

Variation

You can easily switch up the proteins in this wrap. Substitute shrimp with grilled chicken, smoked salmon, or even grilled vegetables for a vegetarian option.

FAQs

1. Can I use frozen shrimp for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen shrimp. Just make sure to thaw them completely before cooking.

2. Is there a gluten-free option for the tortillas?
Yes, you can use gluten-free tortillas instead of regular flour tortillas to make this wrap gluten-free.

3. Can I prepare the wraps ahead of time?
While it’s best to enjoy these wraps fresh, you can prepare the shrimp and assemble the wraps without the dressing. Store them in the fridge and add dressing just before serving to keep everything fresh.

Enjoy crafting this simple yet delicious Garlic Shrimp Caesar Wrap, a meal that satisfies both your taste buds and your busy schedule!
