Ingredients You’ll Need

With only a handful of staple ingredients, you can bring big flavor and texture to your table in almost no time. Each element plays a starring role, so grab the freshest shrimp and crispest lettuce you can find for the very best Caesar Shrimp Wraps.

Shrimp (1 lb cooked, peeled, and deveined): Plump and juicy, these are the protein powerhouses of your wrap—go for pre-cooked or grill your own for even more flavor.
Caesar Dressing (½ cup): The zesty, creamy component that ties every bite together; choose your favorite bottled dressing or make it homemade if you like.
Lemon Juice (1 tablespoon): Adds brightness and balances the richness of the dressing.
Black Pepper (¼ teaspoon): For a gentle kick and a touch of warmth.
Olive Oil (1 teaspoon): Helps everything blend together and adds a subtle silkiness.
Romaine Lettuce (1 small head, chopped): The classic Caesar salad crunch and vibrant green color.
Parmesan Cheese (¼ cup grated): For nutty, salty goodness in every bite—buy a wedge and grate for best flavor.
Flour Tortillas/Wraps (4 large): The vessel that holds it all together; warm before filling for easier wrapping.
Cherry Tomatoes (½ cup, halved, optional): A burst of juiciness and sweet acidity if you’re in the mood.
Croutons (crushed, optional): A sneaky way to add that signature Caesar crunch right inside the wrap.

How to Make Caesar Shrimp Wraps

Step 1: Marinate the Shrimp

In a medium bowl, toss your cooked shrimp with the Caesar dressing, lemon juice, black pepper, and olive oil. Give everything a good mix so that the shrimp get fully coated in the zesty, creamy mixture. Let that marinate for 5–10 minutes. This quick soak infuses loads of flavor and ensures every bite of your Caesar Shrimp Wraps is juicy and delicious.

Step 2: Prep the Tortillas

While your shrimp is marinating, warm your tortillas slightly. Just a few seconds in the microwave or a dry skillet will make them more flexible and less likely to tear. This little step makes assembly (and eating) so much easier!

Step 3: Assemble the Wraps

Lay each tortilla flat, then layer on a generous bed of chopped romaine for that signature crunch. Spoon the marinated shrimp onto the lettuce, making sure to scoop up some of the creamy dressing. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan, and add halved cherry tomatoes if you’re using them for a juicy punch of freshness. For an epic crunch, scatter crushed croutons on top.

Step 4: Wrap It Up

To build your Caesar Shrimp Wraps, fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top. Slice each wrap in half for easy eating, or wrap them in foil if you’re tucking them into a lunchbox. You’re just minutes away from that perfect bite!

How to Serve Caesar Shrimp Wraps

Garnishes

The beauty of Caesar Shrimp Wraps is that you can dress them up or down. For a pop of color, sprinkle extra Parmesan shavings and a touch of black pepper on top, or add a wedge of lemon on the side for anyone who loves a little zesty squeeze.

Side Dishes

Turn these wraps into a complete meal with easy sides. A crisp fruit salad, kettle-cooked chips, or a bowl of soup pairs perfectly for lunch or dinner. Want to keep things light? Sliced cucumbers or carrot sticks with extra Caesar dressing for dipping truly round things out.

Creative Ways to Present

You can serve Caesar Shrimp Wraps as a main, but they’re also amazing sliced into pinwheels for a party platter or cut into thirds for a shareable picnic lunch. Threading small wraps onto skewers creates a fun, handheld appetizer everyone will love!

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

If you end up with extra wraps, simply wrap them tightly in foil or plastic wrap and store in the fridge for up to 2 days. The lettuce may soften slightly, but the flavors meld together beautifully by the next day.

Freezing

Freezing Caesar Shrimp Wraps isn’t recommended since the lettuce and dressing don’t hold up well in the freezer. If you would like to prep ahead, freeze only the shrimp mixture and assemble fresh with lettuce and other veggies when you’re ready to eat.

Reheating

These wraps are best enjoyed cold or at room temperature. If you prefer them warm, pop unwrapped wraps in the microwave for 20–30 seconds, but avoid overheating to keep the lettuce from wilting.

FAQs

Can I use grilled shrimp instead of cooked shrimp?

Absolutely! Grilled shrimp bring a smoky, extra-flavorful twist to Caesar Shrimp Wraps. Just cool the shrimp briefly before mixing with the dressing to avoid wilting the lettuce.

What kind of Caesar dressing works best?

Choose your favorite bottled Caesar for ease, or make a homemade version for an extra hit of freshness. Creamy dressings cling best to shrimp, making each bite super flavorful.

How do I keep the wraps from getting soggy if I pack them for lunch?

Layer lettuce as the first and last layer inside the wrap to create a barrier between the tortilla and the shrimp mixture. If possible, add croutons just before eating for maximum crunch!

Are Caesar Shrimp Wraps gluten-free?

They can be! Just substitute large gluten-free wraps or tortillas and double-check that your Caesar dressing and croutons (if using) are gluten-free.

Can I add extra veggies to these wraps?

Of course! Sliced avocado, roasted red pepper, or even thinly sliced red onion are fantastic add-ins that personalize your Caesar Shrimp Wraps even more.

Final Thoughts

There’s truly nothing like a Caesar Shrimp Wrap to brighten up your lunch or dinner routine—they’re speedy, satisfying, and endlessly customizable. Give them a try and watch these flavorful wraps become a quick favorite in your kitchen!
