directions

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

In a bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until opaque and slightly charred. Remove and set aside.

Chop romaine lettuce and place in a large bowl. Toss with Caesar dressing and grated Parmesan cheese.

Warm the tortillas slightly to make them more pliable.

Assemble each wrap by layering the dressed lettuce and grilled shrimp onto a tortilla. Add extra Parmesan if desired.

Roll up the tortillas tightly, folding in the sides to seal.

Slice in half and serve with lemon wedges, if using.
