Description

A delicious balance of crisp romaine lettuce and succulent shrimp, dressed in a rich Caesar dressing.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups torn sourdough bread or baguette (cut into 1/2 inch pieces)
  • 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt, divided
  • 1 lb. medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 garlic cloves, grated
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 Tbsp. prepared horseradish
  • 1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
  • 3 heads of romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup shaved Parmesan
  • Caesar dressing, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, toss the torn pieces of bread with black pepper, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt. Spread on a baking sheet.
  2. Bake the croutons until crispy and golden brown, about 10-12 minutes.
  3. In the same bowl, toss the shrimp with grated garlic, lemon zest, horseradish, crushed red pepper flakes, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 teaspoon of salt. Refrigerate for 10-30 minutes.
  4. In a large bowl, toss the chopped romaine with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt.
  5. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the marinated shrimp until pink and cooked through, about 2 minutes on each side. Let cool.
  6. Combine the cooked shrimp with the romaine, croutons, and Parm, and toss with 1/3 cup of Caesar dressing. Serve with extra dressing on the side.

Notes

For a healthier option, consider using whole grain bread for croutons or a dairy-free cheese substitute.
