The American Caesar salad with shrimps has long been a favorite of the restaurant public. Meanwhile, preparing an exquisite dish is not difficult at home according to recipes with step-by-step photos presented below.

Classic dish variant

For this recipe, choose the right leafy salad so that Caesar does not taste bitter. A vegetable that does not emit milk juice when broken is suitable for home conditions in the kitchen.

Ingredients:

• 100 g of tiger prawns;
• 100 g cherry tomatoes;
• 100 g of iceberg lettuce leaves;
• 50 g romano salad;
• 20 g parmesan cheese;
• 2 garlic cloves;
• 60 g Caesar sauce;
• 15 g of white bread croutons;
• 5 g each fresh thyme and rosemary.

Preparation:

We clean previously thawed seafood from veins and shells

For washed and dried tomatoes, cut off the attachment points of the stalks and divide the tomatoes in half with a sharp knife. If there are only ordinary tomatoes in the house, it doesn't matter, they can be chopped into large slices

Rub the parmesan on a fine grater

We thoroughly rinse the leaves of both salads under the tap and dry them on a towel or put them in a sieve so that the excess liquid is glass on our own. We tear the leaves in large pieces, without touching the hard petioles

• Crush the peeled garlic with the flat side of a knife, send it to the pan with a small amount of heated olive oil. Warm up slightly, remove spices and garlic with a slotted spoon.
• We send shrimps into fragrant oil and fry them on both sides until tender. As soon as the ponytails become transparent, turn off the stove.
• In a salad bowl with high sides, we send salad, shrimps along with the oil in which they were fried. Add croutons, tomatoes, sauce here and mix with a spatula.

When serving, sprinkle the homemade Caesar salad with shrimps with grated Parmesan

With shrimps and salmon

Both types of seafood go well together in the homemade Caesar salad. And in a company with fresh vegetables and an original sauce, shrimp and salmon are simply delicious.

Ingredients for the salad:

• 180 g of red fish;
• 50 g shrimp;
• 1 large tomato or several small ones;
• 2 quail eggs;
• 100 g lettuce.

Ingredients for dressing:

• 50-70 ml of soy sauce;
• 20 ml lemon juice;
• 20 g of liquid honey.

Preparation:

We wash lettuce and Chinese cabbage leaves in running water, dry. Cut across into large strips

In a tall glass, whisk together the soy sauce, freshly squeezed lemon juice and honey until smooth. If desired, adjust the amount of ingredients for the dressing to your liking

• We cut boiled and peeled eggs into large pieces, send large tomato slices here.
• Cut the fish into slices of medium thickness, grease them with oil and add a little salt. Let stand for about 10 minutes.

Heat a little oil in a frying pan, fry the salmon until golden brown. We send prepared shrimps to the fish

Pour the salad dressing into a deep bowl, send warm seafood here and let them soak. Mix the salmon and shrimp with the rest of the ingredients

Serve garnished with herbs and grated cheese (optional).

With smoked fish

You can make just a royal treat at home if you add some cold smoked fish to the traditional Caesar salad with shrimp.

Such a product is self-sufficient, and in combination with the rest of the components, it will perfectly complement fresh vegetables and tender shellfish.

Ingredients:

• 250 g of any lettuce;
• 450 g shrimp;
• 200-250 g of trout or salmon;
• 100 g parmesan cheese;
• 15-20 pieces of cherry tomatoes;
• 12-16 quail eggs;
• 100-120 ml mayonnaise;
• 2 garlic cloves;
• 1 tbsp. l. lemon juice;
• 3-4 slices of white bread;
• table salt to taste.

Preparation:

• Cook quail eggs in boiling, lightly salted water for about 6 minutes. We take it out, send it to ice water.
• We also dip the defrosted shrimps in salted boiling water for 2 minutes, discard them on a sieve and clean.
• Cut the smoked fish into thin slices.

• Squeeze the garlic into a bowl of olive oil, mix. We send the mass to the pan.
• Cut the bread into cubes. Add it to the heated oil, mix gently with a spatula and fry until golden brown.

For the sauce, mix lemon juice, mayonnaise, olive oil and 1 tbsp. l. finely grated cheese. Salt and pepper to taste, let it brew for 10 minutes. You can add 1 crushed garlic clove to the dressing

• We send salad strips to the bottom of a large flat bowl.
• Next - crackers and fish.

Now halves of quail eggs and shrimp will be used

The last layer is tomato slices and sauce. To distribute the dressing evenly throughout the dish, transfer it to a pastry bag or a tight bag with a cut off tip and apply it with a net

When serving, sprinkle the remaining cheese shavings on the dish.
