Ingredients
12 large romaine lettuce leaves
1 lb (450 g) shrimp, cooked and peeled
1/2 cup (120 ml) Caesar dressing
1/4 cup (15 g) Parmesan cheese, finely grated
8 halves cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup (20 g) croutons
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon olive oil
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Gather and prep your ingredients: wash romaine leaves and pat dry; have shrimp peeled and ready.
- Decide on your dressing: use store-bought Caesar dressing or whisk a quick homemade version (mayonnaise or yogurt with lemon juice, Dijon, Worcestershire, garlic, Parmesan, and pepper).
- Prepare the shrimp: if using raw shrimp, season and cook 2–3 minutes per side until opaque and pink; let cool slightly; chop or leave whole.
- Assemble the filling: in a bowl, combine shrimp with dressing, half the Parmesan, and lemon juice; mix gently.
- Prepare add-ins and greens: halve cherry tomatoes and keep lettuce dry; optionally crush croutons or substitute with nuts.
- Wrap and serve: spoon filling onto lettuce leaves, top with tomatoes and parsley, drizzle with extra Parmesan if desired, and roll into wraps. Serve with lemon wedges.
