GRILLED SHRIMP LOUIE
The dressing for this dish is made to use with crab, but I think the smoky grilled shrimp are a great summertime twist. Make the dressing ahead of time and chill it before you adjust the seasonings.

AMAZING SHRIMP LOUIE SALAD
This is the my personal favorite of all salads, and it makes a great lunch or light dinner. You don't see it much any more in restaurants since it was popular back during the 1950's (the garnishes of olive, egg, asparagus and cuke are "traditional"), but it's so hard to top, I can't believe it's not on every menu to this day.

Steps:
- *For the perfect hard-boiled egg, courtesy of AB: Place a steamer in a large sauce pan with a well-fitted lid. Bring about 1/4 inch of water up to boiling. Place no less than 3 and no more than 6 eggs in the steamer. Cover and steam for 12 minutes. Remove eggs from steamer and drop directly into iced water. The eggs will be firm but tender, easy to peel, and will have a solid and creamy but not dry yolk. Thanks, AB!
- Place your salad bowl in the freezer for 30 minutes before assembling the salad. All the ingredients should be well-chilled before beginning.
- Begin assembling the salad with the lettuce.
- Add the cucumber slices, tomato halves, asparagus spears, black olives, and sliced hard-boiled egg.
- Top with shrimp.
- Serve dressing in a separate container so the diner can use as much dressing as they prefer.
SHRIMP LOUIE SALAD
The Louie salad is a California original that is usually served with shrimp or crab. My twist is to saute the shrimp, but you can also poach and chill them like the original. If using crab, just substitute cooked canned crab.

Steps:
- For the dressing: Whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a small bowl until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- For the salad: To make medium-boiled eggs, put the eggs in a small saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat, cover and let stand 5 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath. Remove the shells once cool and quarter each egg lengthwise.
- Heat a large skillet over medium high. Put the shrimp to a medium bowl, sprinkle with the Old Bay Seasoning and toss to coat. Swirl the oil into the skillet, then stir in the shrimp and cook, tossing occasionally, just until pink and firm, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and reserve.
- Put the lettuce, tomato, cucumber and avocado in a second large bowl. Season with 1 pinch each salt and pepper. Dress with about 1/2 cup of the dressing and toss gently to coat the vegetables. Divide onto 4 plates and arrange the shrimp and medium-boiled eggs on top before serving. Serve the remaining dressing on the side.

Tips:
- Fresh is best: Use the freshest shrimp you can find for the best flavor. You can also use frozen shrimp, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
- Cook the shrimp properly: Overcooked shrimp will be tough and chewy. Cook them just until they are opaque and pink, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Feel free to add your favorites, such as celery, carrots, cucumbers, or tomatoes.
- Make your own dressing: The dressing for this salad is simple to make and only requires a few ingredients. You can also use a store-bought dressing if you prefer.
- Serve immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The shrimp and vegetables will start to wilt if you let it sit for too long.

Shrimp Louie salad is a classic summer dish that is both refreshing and delicious. It is perfect for a light lunch or dinner and can be easily customized to your liking. With its combination of fresh shrimp, vegetables, and a tangy dressing, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
