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.

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 large free-range egg
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
3 fillets anchovies
2 cloves garlic
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, to taste
kosher salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
6 oz whole grain wheat bread, 1 loaf, cut into bite-size cubes
olive oil, to taste
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
1 pinch kosher salt
1 lb wild-caught shrimp, (about 21 or 25) peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 lemon, zested
kosher salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
12 cups kale, mixed, stemmed and sliced into ribbons
kosher salt, to taste
1 avocado, pitted and thinly sliced
¾ cup pomegranate seeds
½ cup parmesan cheese, shaved

Steps:

  • Make the dressing: Add the egg, Dijon mustard, anchovy fillets, and garlic to a blender. Blend for about 1 minute, until smooth and creamy. With the blender running, slowly pour in the olive oil and blend until thick and emulsified. Season the dressing to taste with lemon juice, salt, and pepper, and quickly pulse to incorporate. Set aside. The dressing can be made ahead. Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
  • Make the croutons: In a 3-quart (3 L) mixing bowl, combine the bread, olive oil, and Italian seasoning. Toss to coat the bread cubes.
  • Heat a medium pan over medium heat. Add the bread cubes, in batches if necessary to keep from overcrowding the pan. Toast, tossing occasionally, until crispy and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and season with salt. Set aside. The croutons can be made ahead. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 4 days.
  • Make the shrimp: In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp, olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the shrimp.
  • Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, cook the shrimp for 2 minutes on each side, until pink and opaque. Remove from the pan.
  • Thoroughly wash and dry the kale. Add to a large bowl and season with salt. Gently massage the kale to break down some of the fibrous texture. Toss with a bit of dressing to coat the leaves, then add more to taste.
  • Add the croutons, shrimp, avocado, pomegranate seeds, and Parmesan. Toss well.
  • Divide between bowls and serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!

SHRIMP CAESAR SALAD



Shrimp Caesar Salad image

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes     Shrimp Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 corn tortillas (5 inches in diameter)
2 teaspoons canola oil
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 pound medium shrimp, peeled, deveined, and tails removed
1/3 cup light mayonnaise
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish
4 anchovy filets, minced
1 large head romaine lettuce (1 1/2 pounds), cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces and washed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. On a baking sheet, brush tortillas on both sides with 1 teaspoon oil. Season with 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, salt, and pepper. Bake until golden brown and crispy, turning once, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven, and let stand until cool. When cool, break into pieces.
  • Preheat broiler. In a medium bowl, toss shrimp and remaining teaspoons of oil and chili powder. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange shrimp in a single layer on a broiler pan. Broil 4 inches from heat until browned and no longer pink in the middle, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lime juice, cheese, anchovies, and up to 2 tablespoons water for desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
  • In a large bowl, toss lettuce with as much dressing as desired. Garnish with shrimp, broken tortillas, and cheese.

Tips:

  • For crispy shrimp, make sure to coat them evenly in cornstarch and panko breadcrumbs before frying.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the shrimp. This will cause them to steam instead of fry and will result in soggy shrimp.
  • Fry the shrimp in batches until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • To make the Caesar dressing, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese and good quality olive oil.
  • If you don't have anchovies, you can substitute Worcestershire sauce.
  • To assemble the salad, start with a bed of romaine lettuce. Top with the crispy shrimp, croutons, and Parmesan cheese. Then, drizzle with the Caesar dressing and serve immediately.

Conclusion:

This crispy shrimp Caesar salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The crispy shrimp are coated in a flavorful panko breadcrumb mixture and fried to perfection. The Caesar dressing is creamy and tangy, and the salad is topped with croutons and Parmesan cheese. This salad is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
