  3. In a bowl, toss chopped lettuce, Parmesan, crushed croutons, and Caesar dressing.
  4. Warm tortillas slightly in the microwave or pan to make them pliable.
  5. Assemble wraps by placing salad mixture in the center and topping with cooked shrimp.

Crushing the croutons adds crunch without tearing the tortilla. Serve with extra dressing for dipping.
