Ingredients
- 1 pound Shrimp (large, deveined, peeled)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 heads Romaine lettuce (chopped)
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (shaved)
- 0.5 cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup Croutons
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat the shrimp evenly. Let it marinate for 10 minutes while you prepare other ingredients.
Step 2
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly grease the grill grates with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Step 3
Thread the shrimp onto skewers (if using a grill) or place them directly onto the grill pan. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 4
In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, shaved Parmesan cheese, and croutons.
Step 5
Drizzle Caesar dressing over the salad and toss gently until the lettuce is well coated.
Step 6
Remove the shrimp from the skewers (if necessary) and place them on top of the salad.
Step 7
Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan shavings if desired.
