Instructions

    16 ounces large raw shrimp, 1.5 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Place the shrimp on large metal skewers and grill for 2-3 minutes per side or until cooked through and the color is pink.  Remove from heat and remove the shrimp from the skewers once cool enough to handle.

Assemble the salads:

  • Divide the lettuce, beets, hard boiled egg, cherry tomatoes, olives and avocado between (4) large plates. Top with the shrimp then drizzle with the desired amount of dressing.  Serve with lemon wedges as desired and enjoy!

Notes

  1. Pro tip:  Roast the beets, prepare the hard boiled eggs and dressing up to 2 days in advance.  The shrimp may be prepared a day ahead as well.
  2. Purchase peeled and deveined shrimp for a huge time saver!
  3. If you prefer not to grill the shrimp, you can prepare my air fryer shrimp or  blackened shrimp or serve cooked bay shrimp.  Louie salad is also wonderful with crab meat!
  4. For a vegetarian option, omit the seafood and serve with chickpeas or white beans.
  5. Nutrition information does not include the dressing as that has been calculated in a separate post.
