A different Caesar Shrimp Salad Recipe





 

a delicious and easy Caesar dressing...  no egg is required

I make this several days in advance and keep in my refrigerator

Probably the most familiar salad is a Caesar, I like to shred the 
Romaine lettuce and add 
shrimp for an interesting taste and texture.  My homemade 
croutons are perfect with this. 

For something different, why not make an edible salad bowl,
see my recipe with a photograph at 
Caesar in a Wonton Basket

Serves 8

1 head Romaine lettuce, washed and trimmed
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
2/3 cup salad shrimp seafood
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
1/2 cup croutons

Stack and roll up the Romaine lettuce leaves, cut into thin 1/4-inch wide chiffonade strips; place in a large bowl, add salt and pepper to taste.  

Pour Caesar dressing over the Romaine lettuce and carefully fold in the shrimp reserving a few for the top to garnish.  

Spoon salad onto 8 chilled plates, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, the reserved shrimp and add homemade croutons and serve.


Caesar Salad Dressing
can be made several days in advance, covered and refrigerated
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 small garlic clove, minced

Combine oil, Dijon mustard, lemon juice and garlic. 


Homemade Croutons  ....so easy to make
ahead and keep at room temperature
Baguette Bread
Extra Virgin Olive Oil (no substitute)

Slice bread 1/2-inch thick.  Generously brush olive oil on both sides of bread slices, cut into 1/2-inch cubes and bake on a sheet pan at 275° until lightly browned, approximately 20 minutes.  These are so flavorful when freshly made.

Wine suggestion: Chardonnay
