Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Shrimp (large, peeled and deveined)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 heads Romaine lettuce (chopped)
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (shaved)
- 1 cup Croutons

Instructions
Rinse and pat dry the shrimp with paper towels.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turn pink and are fully cooked. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, croutons, and shaved Parmesan cheese.
Add the Caesar dressing to the salad and toss well to evenly coat the ingredients.
Top the salad with the cooked shrimp.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side, if desired.
