6 cups Romaine Lettuce or Spring Mix
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes (halved)
1 large Ripe Avocado (sliced)
1/2 cup Blue Cheese Crumbles
1/2 cup Red Wine Vinaigrette or Creamy Ranch
To taste Olive Oil, Garlic Powder, Paprika, Salt, Pepper
Instructions
- Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel. Toss them in a bowl with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for about 2 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat

- Arrange the ingredients in rows over the lettuce, starting with cooked shrimp, then halved tomatoes, sliced avocado, hard-boiled eggs, crumbled bacon, and blue cheese
- Drizzle your favorite vinaigrette over the top before serving. Toss lightly
- Add a final crack of fresh black pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice
Notes
Do not overcook the shrimp; they should curl into a 'C' shape when done.
To prevent avocado from browning, slice just before serving or squeeze lime juice over slices for meal prep.
