Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
3 anchovies packed in oil, finely minced
2 small cloves garlic, grated
Zest and juice of 2 lemons (about 2 tablespoons of zest and 1/3 cup juice)
Zest and juice of 2 lemons (about 2 tablespoons of zest and 1/3 cup juice)
Freshly ground black pepper
2 ounces Parmesan, finely grated (about 1 1/2 cups lightly packed)
Kosher salt
3 romaine hearts
1 pound large shrimp, peeled, deveined and tails removed
One 12-inch French baguette, halved lengthwise

Steps:

  • Whisk together the mayonnaise, 1/4 cup of the oil, the anchovies, garlic, lemon zest and juice and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper in a mixing bowl. Add 1 cup of the Parmesan and stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat a large grill pan or outdoor grill over high heat. Cut the romaine in quarters lengthwise, leaving some of the stem attached to each quarter. Brush the cut sides of the romaine with 1/4 cup of the Caesar dressing and place cut-side down on the grill. Grill until the first side is lightly charred, about 1 minute, then turn to the other cut side and cook until lightly charred, about 1 additional minute. Do not crowd the grill, leaving 1/2-inch of space between each quarter of romaine; grill in batches if needed.
  • Toss the shrimp with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Grill the shrimp until lightly charred in spots on both sides and just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a mixing bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon of the Caesar dressing.
  • Brush the inside of the baguette with 1/4 cup of the Caesar dressing and place cut-side down on the grill. Cook until lightly charred and warmed through, about 2 minutes. Cut each piece of baguette in half lengthwise and then crosswise so you have a total of 8 large breadsticks.
  • Divide the grilled romaine among 4 large plates. Scatter an equal amount of shrimp on each plate. Thin out the remaining dressing with 2 teaspoons water and drizzle over the grilled romaine and shrimp. Sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan and serve with the grilled bread.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

2 to 3 cloves garlic
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for brushing
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound large shrimp (20/25), peeled and deveined
12-inches of baguette cut into 1-inch cubes (about 24 croutons)
8 pickled red hot cherry peppers
4 romaine lettuce hearts, halved lengthwise

Steps:

  • Soak eight 12-inch bamboo skewers in warm water, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Make the dressing: Pulse the lemon juice, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, anchovy paste and garlic in a food processor. Gradually add the olive oil with the food processor running. Stir the Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Toss the shrimp with 2 tablespoons of the dressing and the bread cubes with another 2 tablespoons of the dressing. Thread the shrimp on 4 skewers and the bread cubes on 4 skewers. Top each skewer with a hot cherry pepper. Grill the bread cube skewers until toasted with grill marks, about 30 seconds to 1 minute per side. Remove from the grill.
  • Grill the shrimp skewers until the shrimp turn pink, turning once, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Brush the romaine lightly with olive oil and grill until grill marks appear, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Cut the lettuce crosswise into 1 1/2-inch-wide strips.
  • Toss the lettuce with 1/2 cup dressing and salt and pepper to taste. Serve the shrimp and crouton skewers over the salad and the extra dressing drizzled on top.

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/2 loaf crusty French bread, cubed
1/4 cup store-bought garlic olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup store-bought garlic olive oil
4 oil-packed anchovy fillets
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1 1/2 avocados
1/2 lemon, plus additional lemon juice for the avocado
3 romaine lettuce hearts, trimmed and quartered lengthwise
1 1/2 pounds 16-20 count cooked shrimp, shells and tails removed
1/2 cup Parmesan shavings
1/4 cup fresh flat leaf parsley leaves

Steps:

  • For the garlicky croutons: Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
  • Spread out the bread cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Drizzle with the garlic oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake, tossing the croutons once halfway through, until crisp, about 25 minutes. Set aside and cool completely.
  • For the Caesar dressing: Put the garlic oil in a blender. Add the anchovies, mustard, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Blend until smooth. Add the Parmesan and give it a quick blitz. (You want to retain some of the texture of the cheese.)
  • For the salad: Peel and pit the avocados, then slice lengthwise into spears and sprinkle with some lemon juice to prevent browning. Set aside.
  • Arrange the romaine in a line on a platter with the inside of each quarter-head of lettuce facing upward. Drizzle the dressing over the lettuce, allowing it to seep into the layers of leaves. Arrange the shrimp on top, along with the croutons. Scatter the cheese shavings and parsley leaves over the top. Squeeze the lemon half over the whole platter and serve.
