Easy Shrimp Caesar Salad
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
- 1-2 tablespoons ghee sub butter
- 10-12 jumbo shrimp raw
- kosher salt and ground black pepper
- 4 cups romaine lettuce chopped
- ¼ cup Caesar Salad Dressing sub Dairy-Free Caesar Salad Dressing
- 1 avocado sliced
- parmesan cheese shredded
Instructions
- Cook Shrimp: Take a small or medium skillet and bring to medium heat. Add 1-2 tablespoons ghee and let melt. Place 10-12 jumbo shrimp in the hot pan and sprinkle with kosher salt and ground black pepper. Cook shrimp 2-3 minutes per side or until fully cooked. Add additional tablespoon of ghee if needed to ensure the shrimp don't dry out.
- Build Salad: As the shrimp are cooking, rip up 4 cups romaine lettuce and place in a bowl. Add ¼ cup Caesar Salad Dressing and toss with lettuce.
- Serve: Place shrimp on top of lettuce along with half an avocado and parmesan cheese. We love serving it with grilled bread or croutons.
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 caesar dressing.
