### **Instructions:**
#### **1. Marinate and Grill the Shrimp:**
1. In a bowl, combine the shrimp, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly.
2. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
3. Thread the shrimp onto skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes first).
4. Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.
#### **2. Prepare the Wraps:**
1. Warm the tortillas slightly in a skillet or microwave to make them more pliable.
2. Spread 1-2 tablespoons of Caesar dressing evenly over each tortilla.
3. Layer the chopped romaine lettuce, grilled shrimp, grated Parmesan cheese, and croutons (if using) in the center of each tortilla.
#### **3. Assemble and Serve:**
1. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a wrap.
2. Slice the wraps in half diagonally and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zesty kick.

### **Tips:**
– **Add Extra Veggies:** Include sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, or avocado for added freshness and texture.
– **Make It Spicy:** Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the shrimp marinade for a spicy twist.
– **Homemade Caesar Dressing:** Whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan, and salt and pepper to taste.
– **Storage:** These wraps are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store the grilled shrimp separately in the fridge for up to 2 days and assemble the wraps when ready to eat.
