Provided by Stuart O'Keeffe

Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves
1/2 cup spinach leaves
2 tablespoons snipped chives
1 tablespoon tarragon leaves
2 cloves garlic
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup canola oil
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 1/2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lemon, juiced
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 romaine lettuce hearts, sliced in half lengthwise, stem attached
1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined (16 to 21 shrimp)
Canola oil, for coating
1/4 cup store-bought croutons
1/4 cup shaved Parmesan

Steps:

  • For the dressing: Add the parsley, spinach, chives, tarragon, garlic, mayonnaise, canola oil, lime juice and vinegar to a blender. Blend until it resembles an emulsified dressing consistency. If it's too thick add a splash of water to loosen it up.
  • For the romaine hearts: Preheat a grill or grill pan to a medium heat. Whisk to combine the olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a small bowl; rub on the romaine leaves using your hands. Grill the romaine until nice and charred, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
  • For the shrimp: Pat the shrimp dry and toss with some canola oil in a bowl. Grill for 2 minutes on each side.
  • For the salad: Place the romaine halves on each plate, divide the shrimp on top, sprinkle with the croutons and drizzle with the dressing. Top with Parmesan.
