    A delicious caesar salad recipe with shrimp and homemade croutons

    This Shrimp Caesar Salad is served cooked shrimp and romaine lettuce that has been tossed with a homemade quick and easy caesar salad dressing and sprinkled with crispy delicious homemade croutons!

    There is nothing as good as a delicious filling Shrimp Caesar Salad in the summer months. It is light and satisfying as a lunch or light dinner.

    Salad for Summer

    We have been having some awesome weather here lately. It's like we went from winter, instantly to summer totally bypassing spring! Very unlike temps for this time of year in our area and we have been reveling in the warm sunshine! And, summer salads have taken over our meals recently. 

    This Shrimp Caesar Salad has become one of our new favorites, along with Broccoli Salad with Bacon and Jalapeno, Marinated Tofu Salad, and Tomato Avocado Salad Stack. Shrimp Caesar Salad is super easy to make and I love that the dressing uses store-bought mayonnaise instead of homemade.

    What You Need To Make Shrimp Caesar Salad

    Shrimp that has been deveined, peeled, and cooked. 

    Parmesan Cheese will go in both the dressing and top the salad.

    Worcestershire sauce for the dressing. Did you know that caesar salad dressing has anchovies in it? This sauce give it that touch without having to add anchovies to the dressing.

    Hot Chili Sauce, this is my favorite brand.

    Salad bowl, I always mix this up in a large salad bowl to make sure the dressing coats the shrimp and lettuce completely.

    Microplane zester, it is probably one of my favorite tools, next to my wooden citrus reamer, which you will also need due to the fresh lemon juice in the dressing.

    Tips And Substitutions

    • Buy pre-cooked shrimp that has already been peeled to shorten prep time.
    • Buy fresh grated parmesan cheese. I don't recommend the dried version you can buy on the store shelf for this recipe, fresh is best.
    • Adjust the hot sauce to your own preference. The ¼ teaspoon in this recipe gives only a mild flavor. If you like more spice, I would increase to ½ teaspoon to start.
    • Substitute grilled chicken for the shrimp.
    How to toast the pine nuts: spread the pine nuts on a small baking sheet and place in the oven at 350 degrees, for 5-7 minutes, tossing frequently.
