Ingredients
Salad
  • 3 slices cubed sourdough bread
  • 4 tbsp. olive oil, divided
  • ½ tbsp. garlic salt
  • 1 lb. raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp. chili powder
  • ½ tsp. garlic powder
  • ½ tsp. onion powder
  • 1 head romaine or green leaf lettuce, washed and chopped
  • Shredded Parmesan cheese for topping
Dressing
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp. lemon juice
  • ½ tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp. garlic powder
  • ½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 small jalapeno, seeds removed, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spread the sourdough on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with 2 tbsp. olive oil. Sprinkle with garlic salt and toss with your hands to combine. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
  2. Meanwhile, cook the shrimp. Heat the remaining 2 tbsp. olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan. Add shrimp, salt, pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook until pink and no longer translucent, flipping over to cook on both sides evenly.
  3. To make the dressing, whisk together mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt, garlic powder, pepper, and chopped jalapeno (if using).
  4. To assemble the salad, place lettuce in a large bowl and toss with about half the dressing. Add more dressing as needed. Add shrimp and croutons and give a toss to combine. Serve immediately topped with Parmesan cheese.
  5. Enjoy!
