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.
