Ingredients
Shrimp and Seasoning
- 1 pound peeled and deveined shrimp
- 1 tablespoon Cajun blackening seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Vegetables and Dressing
- 1 small cucumber, diced into 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 medium tomato, diced into 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 head romaine lettuce, chopped into 1 to 1 1/2 inch pieces
- 1/2 cup creamy Caesar dressing
Wrap Components
- 4 large tortilla shells
- 1 tablespoon shredded parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Prepare Vegetables: Dice the tomato and cucumber into 1/2 inch pieces and set aside. Chop the romaine lettuce into 1 to 1 1/2 inch pieces and set aside separately.
- Prepare Shrimp: Rinse the peeled and deveined shrimp thoroughly and pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- Season Shrimp: Place the shrimp in a medium-sized bowl. Add the Cajun blackening seasoning, salt, and cayenne pepper. Toss the shrimp until they are evenly coated with the spices.
- Preheat Griddle: Heat your Blackstone griddle or a similar griddle on medium heat. Once hot, pour and spread the olive oil evenly across the surface.
- Cook First Side of Shrimp: Place all the seasoned shrimp onto the oiled griddle surface and cook undisturbed for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes to develop a nice blackened crust.
- Flip and Cook Second Side: Turn the shrimp over and cook for an additional 1 1/2 to 2 minutes until shrimp are opaque and cooked through.
- Cool Shrimp and Heat Tortillas: Remove shrimp from the griddle and let them cool for 10 minutes. While cooling, briefly heat the tortillas on the griddle until soft and pliable.
- Assemble Salad Mix: In a large bowl, combine the chopped lettuce, diced cucumber, diced tomato, and cooled shrimp. Drizzle with creamy Caesar dressing and toss to evenly coat all ingredients.
- Build Wraps: Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the shrimp salad mixture onto the center of the tortilla and sprinkle evenly with shredded parmesan cheese.
- Wrap and Slice: Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll tightly to enclose all ingredients. Slice the wrap diagonally at a 45-degree angle.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Blackened Shrimp Caesar Wrap immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Ensure shrimp are fully cooked and opaque before removing from the griddle to avoid any food safety issues.
- Use fresh Caesar dressing for best flavor; homemade or store-bought works well.
- If you do not have a griddle, you can use a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat as an alternative cooking surface.
- Adjust cayenne pepper amount according to your heat preference.
- To keep wraps from becoming soggy, assemble just before serving.
