Grilled Shrimp Salad Recipes

Grilled Shrimp Salad

Sometimes chicken just isn’t enough. That’s when it’s time to call in the shrimp boat. Shrimp is perfect for salads as it gives it just enough of that ocean taste without being overpowering. TIP: Shrimp cooks quickly, so only grill it for approximately 3-5 minutes regardless of what type of grill you use. Red vinaigrette goes great with this salad.

Ingredients:

1/4 lb. shrimp
1 tsp. tarragon leaves
1 tsp. pepper
1 tbsp. Creole seasoning
2 heads butter lettuce
4 tbsp. chopped black olives
2 tbsp. croutons
2 tbsp. fresh parmesan shredded cheese

Directions:

Preheat grill to 450 degrees. Rinse shrimp and pat it dry. Next, season shrimp with tarragon, pepper, and Creole seasoning until seasoned well. Place shrimp on grill for a total of 5 minutes. Take shrimp off grill and let cool. Combine lettuce, black olives, croutons, and shredded cheese in large mixing bowl. Place mixture on two separate plates or bowls. Place shrimp on top of each salad and add dressing as desired.
