Steps:
- Pre-heat grill.
- In a small bowl, combine 6 tbsp oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon, honey, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper and set aside for later.
- Toss lettuce halves with 2 tsp oil, salt, and pepper. Toss the tomato halves with 2 tsp oil, salt, and pepper. Split the avocados, remove the seeds, and keep them in the skins. Season the inside of the avocados with oil, salt, and pepper. Toss the corn with 2 tsp oil, salt, and pepper.
- Put the smokies and corn on the grill, making sure to char them outside and cooking them all the way. Now on high heat, char the inside of the lettuce, tomatoes, and avocados making sure to keep them mostly uncooked. You just want the charred flavour.
- Remove all the ingredients from the grill. Slice the smokies into half-moons, dice the tomato, remove the corn from the cob, and slice the avocados. Now it's time to assemble.
- Place the charred lettuce on a large platter, add a row of tomatoes, then the hardboiled eggs, followed by the sliced smokies, then the Cheddar, then a row of avocados, and finish it with the corn. Drizzle with the red wine vinaigrette and serve with grilled tortillas.

GRILLED SHRIMP SALAD
Steps:
- For the grilled shrimp: Prepare a grill for medium heat. In a bowl, combine the lemon juice, garlic powder and a pinch each of sea salt and pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat well. Thread the shrimp onto metal skewers.
- Lay the shrimp on the hot grill and cook until cooked through (the flesh will turn opaque) and grill marks form, about 2 minutes per side. Remove and set aside. When cool enough to handle, pull the shrimp off the skewers.
- For the vinaigrette: Add the lemon juice, garlic and a pinch each of kosher salt and pepper to a large bowl. Whisk together, then slowly stream in the olive oil while whisking. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
- For the salad: Add the lettuce, avocado and tomato to the bowl with the dressing. Toss to coat well, then transfer to a serving bowl or platter, leaving any leftover vinaigrette in the bowl. Top the salad with the olives, goat cheese and shrimp. Drizzle the leftover vinaigrette in the bowl over the shrimp. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Prepare a grill or large grill pan for medium heat. Quarter the tomatoes, then slice each quarter into 1/2-inch-thick pieces. Combine with 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl; let sit at room temperature.
- Grate 3 of the garlic cloves into a 1-quart resealable bag. Add 1/4 cup of the oil, half the lemon zest and juice, and the chicken, and seal the bag tightly. Massage the marinade into the chicken, making sure it is evenly coated. Let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, grate the remaining garlic clove into the carafe of a blender. Add the avocados, scallions, 1/2 cup water, 1/3 cup of the oil, the remaining lemon zest and juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper, and puree until smooth. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on top of the dressing, and refrigerate the carafe.
- Transfer the chicken to a plate or baking sheet, shaking off any excess marinade. Sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Place the chicken and the bacon on the grill. (Note: If you have a charcoal grill, cook the bacon in a grill pan. It should not be grilled over charcoal because of the risk of flare-ups.) Grill the chicken until charred on both sides and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the deepest part of each breast reads 165 degrees F, about 5 minutes per side; transfer to a cutting board, and let rest for at least 5 minutes. Grill the bacon, flipping as needed to ensure even cooking, until lightly charred on both sides and most of the fat has rendered, about 10 minutes; transfer to the cutting board.
- While the chicken rests, quarter the romaine hearts lengthwise, leaving some of the stem attached to each quarter. Brush the cut sides with the remaining oil, and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Grill, cut-side down, leaving 1/2 inch of space between each quarter (do not crowd; grill in batches if needed), until 1 cut side is lightly charred, 30 seconds to 1 minute; turn and repeat for the other cut side; transfer to a cutting board, and let cool slightly. Cut into 1-inch pieces, and mound onto a large platter.
- Cut the chicken into 1/2-inch pieces, and crumble the bacon. Arrange the chicken, bacon, hard-boiled eggs, tomatoes (along with the juices) and blue cheese in rows on top of the romaine. When ready to serve, toss with the dressing, season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your salad. Look for wild-caught shrimp, ripe avocado, and fresh, crispy lettuce.
- Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly, so it's important to not overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until it is pink and opaque.
- Make sure the bacon is crispy: Crispy bacon adds a delicious smoky flavor to the salad. Cook the bacon until it is crispy and then crumble it before adding it to the salad.
- Use a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what brings all the flavors of the salad together. Make sure to use a dressing that you enjoy. A simple vinaigrette is a good option, or you can use a store-bought dressing.
- Chill the salad before serving: This will help the flavors to meld together and make the salad more refreshing.
Conclusion:
The grilled shrimp cobb salad is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for a summer meal. It is packed with protein, healthy fats, and fiber. The dressing is light and tangy, and the combination of flavors is simply irresistible. This salad is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
