Easy Grilled Garlic Shrimp Caesar Wrap

This Grilled Shrimp Caesar Wrap recipe is made with juicy grilled shrimp, seasoned with garlic, lemon juice, olive oil and wrapped in a tortilla with crisp Romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing, and crouton pieces. It’s a tasty mix of flavors and textures in every bite. They’re ready to eat in just 15 minutes!

Grilled shrimp is one of my favorites! I not only like the taste, it’s also low carb, low cal and high in protein! Being that I’m on a Caesar Salad kick right now, I decided I had to join these two harmonious flavors in a sandwich wrap!

It’s a light sandwich that’s perfect for hot summer days or a quick lunch at home. It’s made with only a few ingredients and comes together in a snap. If you’re in a rush, use store-bought steamed shrimp. It’ll taste just as good and I’ve done it myself!

Also, it’s a great sandwich to pack for the beach or a picnic in the park because it comes together quickly. 

Grilled shrimp makes this sandwich extra delicious. This is basically the sandwich version of a Shrimp Caesar Salad.

It’s a great way to use up leftover flour tortillas from taco dinners, which I make often in our household.

What size shrimp can I use?

You can use any size shrimp you like for this recipe but, I used large shrimp because that’s what I had on hand. However, if you’re using jumbo shrimp, you may want to cut them in half after you cook them so they fit in the tortilla wrap easier.

Can I use store bought cooked shrimp?

Absolutely! It won’t be grilled but, it will still taste good in this wrap. Plus, it’s much faster to make. 

I’ve made this shrimp Caesar Wrap using cooked shrimp from I bought at Costco and it came together in a snap which is great for when you’re short on time or have leftover shrimp from the night before.

Ingredients

*The full, printable recipe is in the recipe card below where you can adjust the servings.

• raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• garlic clove, minced
• lemon juice or lemon zest
• extra virgin olive oil
• Caesar dressing (regular or creamy)
• chopped romaine lettuce
• ​croutons
• tortilla wrap (I used a spinach wrap)

Summary Instructions

First, add shrimp, olive oil, and lemon juice to a small bowl.

Then, cook the shrimp on a hot griddle or skillet. Alternatively, you can cook the shrimp in an air fryer.

Then, to another bowl add: cooked shrimp, chopped Romaine lettuce, croutons and Caesar dressing and stir.

Next, put the shrimp mixture onto the middle of a tortiall wrap as shown in the picture.

Then, fold the wrap like a diaper (up from the bottom, then on the sides and fold the top over.) See picture below.

Then, cut it half and enjoy!

Substitutions and Additions

• Use lettuce from a salad bag if you don’t have Romaine lettuce.
• Add some crumbled bacon!
• Add a dash of cayenne pepper for some spicy heat if you’d like.
• As mentioned above, use store-bought cooked shrimp to make it even easier and faster.
• Add 1/4 cup of croutons if you desire.
• Add grated parmesan cheese if you desire. It’s aready in the Caesar salad dressing.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refriferator for a day or so. The dressing will make the tortillas soggy so if you’re making these ahead of time, keep that in mind. If you make them a few hours before eating, they’ll be fine. 

This easy recipe makes one sandwich but you can adjust the servings in the recipe card to make for a tasty picnic meal or sandwich platters for parties. This sandwich is perfect for game day parties, BBQs and casual get togethers because you can make them quickly! They’re a nice cold sandwich to eat on a hot day.
