# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The whole thing comes together in under 30 minutes, which means weeknight dinners suddenly feel fancy without the stress.
  • Grilled shrimp develops this incredible smoky char that makes store-bought taste like cardboard by comparison.
  • You can prep everything ahead and assemble the wraps moments before serving, making it perfect for feeding a crowd.
02 -
  • Overcooking shrimp by even one minute transforms it from tender to rubbery, so set a timer and stick to it religiously.
  • If your dressing breaks and looks greasy, whisk in one tablespoon of water at a time until it comes back together smoothly.
  • Cold lettuce in a warm tortilla creates steam that wilts everything, so chill your romaine in the fridge while the shrimp grills.
03 -
  • Make the Caesar dressing up to two days ahead and keep it in the fridge so the flavors meld and deepen while you're busy with life.
  • If you want these for lunch tomorrow, assemble everything except the dressing and add it right before eating, which takes 30 seconds and keeps everything crisp.
