Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1 medium avocado, sliced
  • 1/3 cup parmesan cheese, roughly shaved or grated
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese whisps or croutons
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (or cottage cheese)
  • 1 tablespoon mayo
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1–2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1–2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 anchovy filets, minced (optional for authentic flavor)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Shrimp: In a bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and lemon juice. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Prepare the High-Protein Caesar Dressing: In a food processor, add in the Greek yogurt, grated parmesan cheese, olive oil, Dijon mustard, mayo, lemon juice, minced garlic, minced anchovies (if using), Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper; pulse until smooth and well combined.
  3. Prepare the Salad: In a large salad bowl or a large platter, combine the chopped romaine lettuce along with the cooked shrimp, croutons, shaved parmesan cheese, and sliced avocados. Drizzle the high-protein Caesar dressing over the salad and serve.

Notes

Store the salad and shrimp components in separate containers and the Caesar salad dressing in a separate airtight container. When ready to serve, toss the ingredients with dressing.
