Grilled Shrimp Caesar Salad With Blistered Shishito Peppers
I love a good Caesar salad. But, honestly the grilled salmon and chicken was getting a bit tired. I was thinking about shrimp and what a great source of protein it is. I never think about making it! My favorite way to have shrimp is grilled over charcoal, but you can easily cook your shrimp on the stove-top for this salad. If you are not a shrimp fan, omit entirely or swap in another source of protein. Vegetarian? Add some toasted chickpeas and avocado.
We tried growing shishito peppers from seed this summer and it has been a wonderful success. It may be my favorite garden produce (aside from tomatoes of course). I usually just pan fry them in a bit of olive oil and finish with fresh lemon juice and salt. That is what I did for this recipe as well, and they add such a nice unique flavor to the Caesar salad.
To make things simple, I recommend just purchasing your favorite caesar dressing as it can add some time to make your own. Next time I'll share my favorite caesar dressing recipe. The star of this salad is really the shrimp and shishito peppers.
I hope you enjoy!
