Preparation

Step 1

For the grilled shrimp:

In a large bowl, add all of the ingredients. Mix and marinate the shrimp for an hour in the fridge. Remove from fridge and bring to room temperature. Preheat a grill or grill pan. Grill the marinated shrimp on high heat for 5 minutes, flipping as they char.

For the grilled romaine salad:

Take four small hearts of romaine and slice lengthwise. Take a few leaves out from the inside so you create a bit of a "boat" for your handheld salad. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkle with salt.

Place the romaine hearts on the grill, cut side down, on the perimeter of the grill for about a minute or two to get a char and bring out the flavors of the lettuce. Remove from grill.

Add a squeeze of lemon and an extra drizzle of olive oil. Fill with grilled shrimp, a drizzle of salad dressing of your choice (balsamic vinaigrette or Caesar dressing) plus crushed croutons for texture and Parmesan cheese if you choose to have the veggie version without shrimp.
