Steps:
- For the dressing: Add the parsley, spinach, chives, tarragon, garlic, mayonnaise, canola oil, lime juice and vinegar to a blender. Blend until it resembles an emulsified dressing consistency. If it's too thick add a splash of water to loosen it up.
- For the romaine hearts: Preheat a grill or grill pan to a medium heat. Whisk to combine the olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a small bowl; rub on the romaine leaves using your hands. Grill the romaine until nice and charred, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
- For the shrimp: Pat the shrimp dry and toss with some canola oil in a bowl. Grill for 2 minutes on each side.
- For the salad: Place the romaine halves on each plate, divide the shrimp on top, sprinkle with the croutons and drizzle with the dressing. Top with Parmesan.

CHEF JOHN'S GREEN GODDESS DRESSING
This creamy, herby, addictively delicious sauce is not only my favorite salad dressing, but is one of my favorite dips as well. You can of course tweak the acidity with more or less lemon, as well as play with the salt and pepper, but please do not change the trio of herbs. The way the parsley and chive play against the sweet tarragon makes this unlike any other herb dressing.

- To lighten up the dressing, use Greek yogurt or sour cream instead of mayonnaise.

- To make the dressing ahead of time, simply whisk all of the ingredients together and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

- To prevent the shrimp from sticking to the grill, brush them with a little olive oil before cooking.
