Assembly
- Warm the tortillas slightly in a dry pan to make them more pliable.
- Lay down the chopped romaine lettuce on each tortilla, followed by the grilled shrimp and drizzle with Caesar dressing.
- Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and add croutons for added texture.
Serving
- Roll up each tortilla tightly, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately with extra dressing or a side of fresh fruit.
Notes
For added flavor, combine with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the shrimp. You can also add other vegetables like bell peppers or cucumbers for extra crunch.
