Description

Dive into a delightful culinary experience with this Shrimp Caesar Salad recipe that’s fresh, crunchy, and full of flavor—perfect as a light meal or alongside your Alfredo Shrimp Linguini. This dish celebrates textures and flavors with succulent shrimp, crisp romaine, and a creamy dressing.

Ingredients

Scale

Fresh Romaine Lettuce

  • 1 head, chopped

Succulent Shrimp

  • 1 pound, cleaned and deveined

Parmesan Cheese

  • 1/2 cup, grated

Caesar Dressing

  • 1/2 cup (store-bought or homemade)

Croutons

  • 1 cup, for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Shrimp: Start by cleaning and deveining your shrimp. Season them with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice. In a skillet, heat some olive oil over medium heat and sauté the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque.
  2. Chop the Lettuce: While the shrimp cooks, wash and dry the romaine lettuce. Chop it into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.
  3. Make the Dressing: If you’re using store-bought Caesar dressing, you can skip this step. However, if you want to make your own, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and grated Parmesan in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked shrimp to the bowl with the chopped lettuce. Drizzle the dressing over the top and toss gently to combine. Add croutons and more Parmesan cheese as desired.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Plate the salad and enjoy immediately. You can also chill it for a bit before serving for an extra refreshing bite.

Notes

  • Don’t overcook the shrimp; they cook quickly, so keep an eye on them to prevent toughness.
  • Use fresh ingredients; fresh romaine and quality dressing will elevate the salad.
  • Customize your seasoning; feel free to add your favorite herbs or spices to the shrimp.
  • Chill the salad bowl; a chilled bowl can keep the salad crisp for longer.
  • Make it ahead; prepping the ingredients ahead of time makes for quick assembly at mealtime.
