Shrimp Club Salad image

Crunchy romaine lettuce provides a refreshing complement to tender shrimp and smoky bacon. Using shrimp in place of the usual chicken elevates this cool salad, inspired by the club sandwich -- a standby at American hotels and country clubs.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

Salt and pepper
1/2 pound large or jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails left on)
1/2 loaf rustic bread, crusts removed, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
3 to 4 teaspoons lemon juice
4 slices cooked bacon (4 ounces), crumbled
1 romaine lettuce heart, chopped
1 pint large cherry tomatoes, quartered or halved

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a medium pot of boiling salted water, cook shrimp until opaque throughout, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain, then transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate, cover, and chill until ready to serve. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss bread with oil. Bake until golden, about 8 minutes, tossing halfway through.
  • Stir together mayonnaise, chives, and lemon juice to taste; season with salt and pepper. Toss together shrimp, croutons, bacon, lettuce, and tomatoes and serve with dressing.
