Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tbsp olive oil, plus more for cooking if needed
  • Salt, pepper, and garlic powder
  • 1 large head romaine lettuce
  • 1 cup croutons
  • ½ cup shaved or grated Parmesan
  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method
 

  1. Whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon, garlic, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper, then slowly whisk in 3 tbsp olive oil until smooth.
  2. Pat shrimp dry, season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and sear in 1 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
  3. Chop, wash, and thoroughly dry romaine lettuce.
  4. Toss romaine with half the dressing and croutons, plate, top with shrimp and Parmesan, and serve immediately with extra dressing.

Notes

If you like a stronger garlic punch, rub the inside of your salad bowl with a cut garlic clove before adding the lettuce. The salad is best eaten right away while the shrimp are warm, but chilled leftovers work for lunch the next day if you keep everything separate.
