Chop the grilled watermelon into small pieces for the salsa.

Chop the red onion and cilantro, and add them to the bowl with the watermelon.

Squeeze fresh lime juice into the bowl with the watermelon, red onion, and cilantro.

Toss everything together to combine the salsa ingredients.

Heat the grill to medium-high heat.

Place the defrosted shrimp on the grill and cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove the shrimp from the grill and let them cool slightly before peeling.

Warm the tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side until they are soft and pliable.

Assemble the wraps by placing the grilled shrimp and watermelon salsa onto each tortilla.

Fold the tortillas over the filling and serve immediately.
