Ingredients

Units Scale

Dressing:

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 Tbsp ketchup
  • 1 Tbsp pickle relish
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tsp prepared horseradish
  • 3/4 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • A few grinds of black pepper

Salad:

  • 1 lb frozen jumbo shrimp, thawed
  • 1 head romaine or red leaf lettuce, rinsed and chopped
  • 2 hard-boiled eggs, sliced
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 or 2 tomatoes, cut into wedges
  • Garnish: capers, chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Make the dressing by combining all the dressing ingredients in a bowl. Stir well to combine. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  2. Prepare an ice bath in a large bowl with ice cubes and cold water and set it to the side.
  3. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook the shrimp by plunging them into the boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes or until pink. Remove the shrimp from the hot water and immediately add to the ice bath to stop the cooking.
  4. Place the lettuce on a large platter or on 4 individual serving plates. Evenly distribute the sliced egg and sliced avocado. Add on the tomatoes.
  5. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Add the shrimp to the salad platter or plates. Garnish with capers and parsley. Place in the fridge until ready to serve.
  6. Drizzle the salad with the dressing and eat!
