Provided by Stuart O'Keeffe

Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves
1/2 cup spinach leaves
2 tablespoons snipped chives
1 tablespoon tarragon leaves
2 cloves garlic
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup canola oil
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 1/2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lemon, juiced
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 romaine lettuce hearts, sliced in half lengthwise, stem attached
1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined (16 to 21 shrimp)
Canola oil, for coating
1/4 cup store-bought croutons
1/4 cup shaved Parmesan

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



Chef John's Green Goddess Dressing image

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.
