Directions:Pat dry shrimp with paper towels and place in a medium bowl. Add 1 tsp Cajun spice, 2 pressed garlic cloves, a pinch of salt and stir to combine.
Place a large, non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 Tbsp butter and once it's melted and hot, add shrimp in a single layer. Saute 2 minutes per side or just until cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Chop, rinse and spin dry 1 medium head of romaine lettuce. You should end up with about 6 cups of lettuce. Transfer that to a large mixing bowl. Now add 3 sliced tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, sliced cucumbers, 2 sliced avocados and 1 cup cooked corn.
To make the dressing, start with 3 tbsp of fresh lemon juice. Stir in 1/2 cup of finely chopped cilantro and stir. Add 3 tbsp of olive oil (extra virgin has the best flavor). Season with 1 tsp salt and a generous pinch of black pepper. Stir together.
Put together in serving bowl: Lettuce mixture, shrimp and then dressing. |
