Easy Shrimp Caesar Salad – A quick and easy lunch or dinner that will be ready in minutes! Cook your shrimp on the stove-top or on the grill (see Notes). 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1012 jumbo shrimp, raw
  • 12 tablespoons ghee or butter
  • salt and pepper
  • 4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cup tablespoons Caesar Dressing or Dairy-Free Caesar

Instructions

  1. Take a small or medium skillet and bring to medium heat.
  2. Add 1 tablespoon of ghee and let melt.
  3. Place shrimp in pan and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  4. Cook shrimp 2-3 minutes per side or until fully cooked.
  5. Add additional tablespoon of ghee if needed to ensure the shrimp don’t dry out.
  6. When you flip over the shrimp, salt and pepper the other side as well.
  7. As the shrimp are cooking, rip up your romaine lettuce and place in bowl.
  8. Add dressing and toss lettuce. 
  9. Place shrimp on top of lettuce along with half an avocado and parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • Grilled Shrimp: for grilling instructions see our tutorial on How to Grill Shrimp
  • Shrimp Marinade: if you want marinade your shrimp before cooking here is our Best Ever Shrimp Marinade.
  • Store-bought caesar: of course you can use any caesar dressing you want – I really love Tessamae’s caesar dressing!
  • Dairy-Free/Paleo/Whole30: simply omit the parmesan cheese and use a compliant dressing like this dairy-free version
