Homemade caesar salad with grilled shrimp, crispy garlic croutons and lots of shaved parmesan cheese and freshly cracked black pepper!

Provided by Leigh Anderson

Categories     Salad

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 cups torn pieces of Italian or country bread
1/4 c olive oil
2 cloves grated garlic
salt
4 anchovies
2 cloves garlic (grated)
2 egg yolks
2 tbsp dijon mustard
1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 c neutral oil (grapeseed, canola, safflower or avocado)
1/2 c grated parmesan cheese
freshly cracked black pepper
1 lb large deveined shrimp (peeled or not- up to you!)
3 tbsp old bay seasoning
2 tbsp neutral oil
3 large heads romaine lettuce (or 4-5 heads gem lettuce)
grated parmesan cheese
black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Toss the torn bread with the grated garlic, olive oil and a pinch of salt, distribute in a an even layer on a baking tray. Transfer to the oven to bake until lightly golden brown, about 10 minutes.
  • In a large wooden bowl* whisk together the anchovy and grated garlic until a paste forms. Use the whisk to break up the anchovies. Next, add in the egg yolks, dijon mustard, Worcestershire and lemon juice then whisk to combine. *note: If you don't have a wooden salad bowl like this you can make the dressing in any large bowl just finely mince the anchovy and garlic before you get started.
  • Next, begin slowly streaming in the neutral oil while whisking continuously until the mixture is thick, creamy, and pale yellow. Last, whisk in the parmesan cheese and a few generous turns of freshly cracked black pepper.
  • Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Toss the shrimp with the neutral oil and old bay seasoning. Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Prep your romaine lettuce. Trim off the root end. Discard any outer leaves that are wilted or blemished. Cut or tear the romaine into bite-sized pieces then transfer to a colander and wash, then spin dry in a salad spinner.
  • Add the lettuce into the bowl with the dressing along with the croutons and toss until evenly coated. You really want to make sure the leaves are thoroughly coated in dressing. Divide the salad between plates, top with extra grated parmesan cheese, black pepper and 3-4 shrimp per salad.

WARM CAESAR SALAD WITH GRILLED SHRIMP AND SCALLOPS



Warm Caesar Salad with Grilled Shrimp and Scallops image

Categories     Salad     Leafy Green     Quick & Easy     Scallop     Shrimp     Gourmet

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 garlic cloves, minced and mashed to a paste with a pinch of salt
5 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups 1/2-inch bread cubes
1 1/2 teaspoons anchovy paste
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
8 shrimp (about 1/2 pound), shelled
8 sea scallops (about 1/2 pound), halved horizontally if desired
1/2 head of romaine, washed well, spun dry, and torn into small pieces (about 4 cups)
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • In a small bowl whisk together half the garlic paste, 2 tablespoons of the oil, and salt and pepper to taste, add the bread cubes, and toss the mixture well. Bake the bread cubes on a baking sheet in the middle of a preheated 350° F. oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the croutons are golden.
  • In a large bowl whisk together the remaining garlic paste, 2 tablespoons of the remaining oil, the anchovy paste, the lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste until the dressing is combined well. In a bowl toss the shrimp and the scallops with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and salt and pepper to taste and grill them in a ridged grill pan or on an oiled rack set about 6 inches over glowing coals for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are cooked through and the scallops are opaque. Transfer the shell fish to the large bowl, add the romaine and 1 tablespoon of the Parmesan, and toss the salad well. Divide the salad between 2 plates and sprinkle the croutons and 1/2 tablespoon of the remaining Parmesan over each serving.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the salad will be. Look for ripe tomatoes, crisp romaine lettuce, and flavorful shrimp.
  • Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs will help to infuse them with flavor. You can marinate the shrimp for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Grill the shrimp over high heat: This will help to create a nice char on the outside of the shrimp while keeping the inside tender and juicy. Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
  • Make the Caesar dressing ahead of time: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. You can make the dressing up to 2 days in advance.
  • Assemble the salad just before serving: This will help to prevent the lettuce from wilting. Toss the lettuce with the dressing, then top with the grilled shrimp, Parmesan cheese, and croutons.

Conclusion:

Grilled Caesar salad with shrimp is a delicious and easy-to-make summer meal. It's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a weekend brunch. With its combination of fresh, flavorful ingredients, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
