Garlic Shrimp Caesar Salad Recipe, Its Ingredients, Instructions

A family favorite, the grilled, lean, lemon-garlic shrimp caesar salad has a creamy dressing that has been lightened up.

The traditional Garlic Shrimp Caesar Salad has been given a fresh and nutritious makeover.

A tasty salad that won’t have you prowling the fridge at midnight since it makes you hungry and craves more food. Thanks to the shrimp AND the creamy, lightened-up sauce, this dish is packed with protein.

Garlic Shrimp Caesar Salad is another one of my substantial “meal in a salad” varieties, and with the addition of avocado slices, parmesan cheese shavings, and crunchy croutons, it promises to satisfy you without making you worry about bursting out of your clothes!

Friends, let’s get started. For this Shrimp Caesar Salad, I make my croutons, but if you don’t have any or are having a terrible day and don’t feel like making your own and need the salad right away, you may use store-bought croutons instead. I concur.

Start them first before handling Garlic Shrimp Caesar Salad if you are preparing your own. Prepare your shrimp while they are broiling (or grilling) in the oven.

Here, we’re not just utilizing regular shrimp. You’ll flavor your shrimp by adding garlic, lemon, pepper, salt, and FLAVOR.

After that, you’ll allow it to marinate for a while while you prepare your Garlic Shrimp Caesar Salad ingredients and cook the bacon.

Your croutons need to be almost ready by this point. But don’t forget about them, as I might have done in the past. Nothing compares to a burnt croissant.

The shrimp will then be cooked in batches to ensure that they get crispy and get that great chargrilled flavor. The fact that cooking each batch of shrimp just takes MAXIMUM 5 minutes is what I appreciate most. Goodbye, fast salad.

Put everything in your bowl along with the sliced egg, avocados, and parmesan cheese.

Then top with this homemade, CREAMY, lightened Caesar dressing, which is healthier and better for you than store-bought or regular Caesar dressings. And obliterate it in under five minutes as we do.

INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Set the oven to the grill or broil setting and turn the heat up to high. On an oven sheet, arrange the cubed bread; drizzle with olive oil or spray with cooking oil spray, and bake until crisp on the middle shelf of the oven. Alternatively, use shop-bought croutons.
2. In a small bowl, mix the shrimp, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper. While preparing the other ingredients, let the meat marinate for around 10 minutes.
3. A light sprinkle of olive oil is heated in a grill pan (or skillet or nonstick pan); the bacon is then fried until crisp and brown. Transfer to a hot plate and reserve.
4. Leave about 1 teaspoon of the bacon fat in the pan for the shrimp after draining some of it. The shrimp should only be fried for two to three minutes on each side to avoid turning them rubbery. Place aside.

The Caesar Dressing is made by:

1. In a magic bullet, tiny blender, or small food processor, combine the yogurt, mayo, oil, garlic, anchovies, lemon juice, and parmesan. Add salt and pepper to taste, then blend one more until the mixture is smooth. Try it out.

Build the salad:

1. Combine the lettuce with avocado slices, croutons, shaved parmesan cheese, shrimp, and bacon. Pour over the dressing and blend thoroughly.
   Place the sliced egg on top.
