Cajun Shrimp Caeser Salad

Total Time: 15 minutes
Servings 3 servings

Ingredients
 

  • DRESSING
  • 3 anchovies (optional, you could also use anchovy paste - 1 tsp)
  • juice of 2 lemons
  • 1 tsp mustard
  • 1 clove garlic, grated
  • 1 cup mayo
  • lots of fresh cracked pepper
  • SALAD
  • olive oil
  • 10 shrimp per person
  • organic cajun seasoning
  • 3-4 Romaine hearts, shredded

Instructions
 

  • Put the anchovies or anchovy paste in a large bowl and add in the lemon juice. Mash the anchovies to break them up into a paste with the lemon juice. Add in the mustard and garlic and continue to mash together to form a paste. Slowly stir in the mayo to combine. Store in the fridge until ready to use.
  • Bring a frying pan to high heat and drizzle in some oil. Add in the shrimp and a liberal amount of cajun seasoning to coat the shrimp. Toss the shrimp in the oil and seasoning and cook about 3-5 minutes until cooked through. You know the shrimp are cooked with they form a “C” shape, but a tighter “O” shape is overcooked.
  • Toss all the lettuce in a large bowl with the dressing, starting with just half then adding more to your personal tastes. Plate the lettuce and top with the shrimp.
