Description

This salad is the perfect entree for a dinner party. 


Ingredients

For the Shrimp: 

  •   4 cloves garlic, pressed or grated
  •   Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  •   2 teaspoons Kosher salt
  •   2 teaspoons pepper
  •   2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
  •   6 tablespoons olive oil
  •   1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, deveined

For the Remoulade Sauce:

  •   1/2 cup mayonnaise
  •   2 tablespoons Ketchup or Chili sauce
  •   2 tablespoons green onions, sliced
  •   2 tablespoons green olives, finely chopped
  •   2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  •   1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  •   1 clove garlic, peeled and pressed
  •   Pinch of Kosher salt
  •   1 teaspoon chili crisp oil, optional

 For the Salad: 

  •   1-2 heads or 8 ounces soft lettuce
  •   6 eggs
  •   1 bunch of radishes, sliced
  •   1-2 avocados, cut into chunks
  •  1 ½ cups pear tomatoes, halved
  •   1 bunch chives, chopped
  •   ¼ cup marinated red onions

Instructions

  1. To a large bowl, add the garlic, lemon zest and juice, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Whisk in olive oil to combine then add the shrimp. Toss to coat then set aside.
  2. Marinate for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to make sure the shrimp is marinating evenly.
  3. While the shrimp marinates, make the remoulade sauce: Add ingredients to a small bowl and mix to combine. Set aside.
  4. Soft-boil eggs. I find putting them in boiling water, cooking for 7 ½ minutes then placing them directly into an ice bath for 2-3 minutes leaves them perfectly gooey. Cook longer if preferred. Peel and cut into halves or quarters.
  5. To cook the shrimp, heat a large pan over high heat. When the pan is hot, place shrimp in a single layer in the very hot pan and cook on one side until they start to turn pink and curl up, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  6. Arrange bibb lettuce leaves beautifully on a large platter, or in a bowl, whether for one, or a group. Top with tomatoes, radishes, avocado, onions and shrimp, and drizzle a little bit of remoulade sauce over everything. Garnish with chives and serve with additional sauce alongside.
