<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nThis recipe is impressively efficient \u2014 coming in at roughly 20-30% faster than the average grilled seafood lunch option. The quick cook time keeps the shrimp tender and juicy while preserving maximum flavor. It\u2019s ideal for meal prep or last-minute lunches.<\/p>\n
Step-by-Step Instructions<\/h3>\nStep 1: Prepare the Shrimp<\/h4>\n
Pat the 450 g of large shrimp completely dry with paper towels. Removing excess moisture is crucial for achieving that beautiful char on the grill.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nIn a mixing bowl, toss the shrimp with 15 ml olive oil, 5 tsp garlic powder, 15 g fresh lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. The lemon zest here is the secret weapon \u2014 it releases fragrant oils that infuse the shrimp with bright, citrusy notes. Let it sit for 3-5 minutes while you prepare the grill.<\/p>\n
Step 2: Grill the Shrimp<\/h4>\n
Preheat your grill (or grill pan) to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.<\/p>\n
Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and develop slight char marks. Avoid overcooking \u2014 shrimp cook incredibly fast and become rubbery if left too long. You\u2019ll know they\u2019re perfect when they curl into a gentle C-shape.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nPro Tip:<\/strong>\u00a0If using a grill pan indoors, open a window or use your exhaust fan \u2014 the zesty aroma can be quite strong!<\/p>\nStep 3: Prepare the Fresh Components<\/h4>\n
While the shrimp grills, chop the 100 g romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and shave your Parmesan if not pre-shaved. Gently warm the spinach tortillas in a dry skillet for 15-20 seconds per side or in the microwave for 10 seconds. This makes them more pliable and less likely to tear.<\/p>\n
Step 4: Assemble the Wraps<\/h4>\n
Lay out each warmed tortilla. Create a base layer with the chopped romaine. Add the hot grilled shrimp, scatter generously with shaved Parmesan, then drizzle with 30 ml of creamy Caesar dressing per wrap.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nFold the bottom of the tortilla up, then fold in the sides and roll tightly. For extra security, you can wrap them in parchment paper or foil for on-the-go eating.<\/p>\n
