Ingredients

For Vinaigrette

  • 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt And Pepper, Or To Taste
  • 2/3 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil

For Salad

  • 3 whole Romaine Hearts, Cut In Half ( I had found petite ones at the store I used.)
  • 2 pounds Shrimp, Peeled, Deveined And Tails Removed
  • 1 1/2 pounds Small Tomatoes
  • 4 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 teaspoons Salt

Preparation Instructions

For Vinaigrette

  1. Add all ingredients to a blender or a food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy about 1 minute.

For Salad

  1. Toss Shrimp with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Set aside.
  2. Toss tomatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt.
  3. Brush on remaining olive oil all over romaine hearts. Season with a generous pinch of sea salt.
  4. Over a hot grill add shrimp, in a separate section on the grill add the romaine hearts cut side down and the tomatoes. Rotate shrimp until pink and remove from heat about 5-6 minutes. Cook romaine and tomatoes until grill marks appear. Rotate and cook on all sides. Total cook time is about 6-8 minutes for the romaine and tomatoes.
  5. Place grilled romaine heart on plate. Cover with shrimp and tomatoes. Drizzle with vinaigrette. Season to taste with sea salt and pepper.
