Number Of Ingredients 14

1 lb 16/20 or U-15 shrimp (peeled and deveined)
1/2 tbsp creole seasoning (I used Tony Chachere)
2 tbsp grapeseed oil
3/4 cup mayonnaise
3 anchovy fillets (or 1 1/2 tsp anchovy paste)
1 tsp dijon mustard
1 tsp worcheshire sauce
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
2 garlic cloves (crushed with a garlic press if you have one)
1/2 cup parmesan (freshly grated or broken up in chunks if using food processor)
salt and pepper (to taste)
1 romaine lettuce head (sliced vertically in 1 ½ inch slices)
1/3 cup shaved or grated parmesan cheese
Homemade Croutons (See below in notes for homemade croutons recipe)

Steps:

Heat a medium sized skillet to medium heat and add oil. While the skillet is warming, sprinkle creole seasoning on the shrimp in a bowl and toss to fully coat.
Cook shrimp in the skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In a food processor, add all of the ingredients for the caesar dressing and pulse for 20-30 seconds until smooth and well combined.
Arrange the salad leaves in a serving bowl and pour the caesar dressing on top. Toss the leaves with the dressing until all leaves are coated.
In this order: place the croutons on top of the salad, add the shrimp, and sprinkle with the remaining parmesan cheese.Assembling in the order allows for the croutons to absorb the flavor of the caesar dressing and shrimp. Serve and Enjoy.
