6. Step 6: Add grilled shrimp, chopped romaine lettuce, shaved Parmesan cheese, and optional toppings like crumbled bacon and croutons on top.
7. Step 7: Fold the sides of the tortillas inward, then roll tightly from the bottom up to form wraps.
8. Step 8: Slice each wrap in half and serve immediately while the shrimp is still warm.

Tips & Variations

• For extra smoky flavor, marinate shrimp in lemon juice and smoked paprika before grilling.
• Use low-fat mayonnaise or Greek yogurt in the dressing for a lighter version.
• Substitute romaine with kale or spinach for a different texture and added nutrients.
• Add sliced avocado or sun-dried tomatoes for extra richness.
• Cook bacon in advance and store crumbled in the refrigerator for quick assembly.

Storage

These wraps are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or foil in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Reheat shrimp gently in a skillet before assembling wraps again to avoid soggy tortillas. Avoid storing assembled wraps overnight as the lettuce and tortillas may become soggy.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use frozen shrimp for this recipe?

Yes, frozen shrimp works well. Just thaw completely and pat dry before seasoning and grilling to ensure they cook evenly.

What can I substitute if I don’t have Worcestershire sauce?

You can replace Worcestershire sauce with a splash of soy sauce mixed with a pinch of lemon juice or vinegar for a similar tangy depth.

• You can omit the bacon and croutons to make the wrap lighter or to cater to dietary preferences.
• Ensure shrimp are not overcooked to maintain their tenderness and avoid a rubbery texture.
• Customize the wrap by adding sliced avocado or tomatoes for extra flavor and texture.
• Make sure tortillas are warmed to prevent cracking when rolling the wraps.
