SHRIMP CAESAR SALAD

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.

CHICKEN CAESAR SALAD

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Tear 1 medium ciabatta into big, ragged croutons or, if you prefer, cut with a bread knife. Spread over a large baking sheet or tray and sprinkle over 2 tbsp olive oil.
• Rub the oil into the bread and season with a little salt if you like (sea salt crystals are best for this). Bake for 8-10 mins, turning the croutons a few times during cooking so they brown evenly.
• Rub 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts with 1 tbsp olive oil, season. Place pan over a medium heat for 1 min, until hot, but not smoking. Lay the chicken on the pan (it will sizzle if it's hot enough) and leave for 4 mins.
• Turn the chicken, then cook for 4 mins more. Check if it's cooked by poking the tip of a sharp knife into the thickest part; there should be no sign of pink and juices will run clear.
• Bash 1 garlic clove with the flat of a knife and peel off the skin. Crush with a garlic crusher. Mash 2 anchovies with a fork against the side of a small bowl.
• Grate a handful of parmesan cheese and mix with the garlic, anchovies, 5 tbsp mayonnaise and 1 tbsp white wine vinegar. Season to taste. It should be the consistency of yogurt - if yours is thicker, stir in a few tsps water to thin it.
• Shave the cheese with a peeler. Tear 1 large cos or romaine lettuce into large pieces and put in a large bowl. Pull chicken into bite-size strips and scatter half over the leaves, along with half the croutons.
• Add most of the dressing and toss with your fingers. Scatter the rest of the chicken and croutons, then drizzle with the remaining dressing. Sprinkle the parmesan on top and serve straight away.
