Ingredients

Salad ingredients

1 pound shrimp, rinsed, peeled and deveined (fresh or frozen; if frozen, allow to thaw)
1 tablespoon Cajun or Creole dry seasoning , I use Tony Chachre's Creole Seasoning
1 large head of iceberg or a large bunch romaine lettuce
veggies of your choice: optional , sliced cucumbers, avocado, bacon crumbles, hard boiled eggs - add whatever you like or nothing at all

Remoulade Salad Dressing - this makes 3 cups; half the recipe if you don't need that much

2 cups mayonnaise
½ cup sweet chili sauce (See Recipe Notes below)
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
¼ cup steak sauce (like A1 Steak sauce)
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
¼ cup honey
1 large lemon (about 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice)
2 large garlic cloves, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
2 teaspoons dried dill weed
prepared horseradish sauce (optional); to taste
salt and ground white pepper to taste

Instructions

Rinse, peel and devein shrimp; sprinkle Cajun or Creole seasoning over shrimp and allow to rest while you make the dressing. (You may not use all of the dry seasoning-depends upon your heat preference.)
1 pound shrimp, rinsed, peeled and deveined, 1 tablespoon Cajun or Creole dry seasoning
Combine the salad dressing ingredients in a bowl; cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes
2 cups mayonnaise, ½ cup sweet chili sauce, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, ¼ cup steak sauce (like A1 Steak sauce), 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, ¼ cup honey, 1 large lemon, 2 teaspoons dried dill weed, prepared horseradish sauce (optional); to taste, 2 large garlic cloves, minced
Bring a saucepan of water to a boil (enough to cover the shrimp); once the water boils, add seasoned shrimp and cook 5-8 minutes or until they turn pinkk/orange; remove from water and drain in colander; place shrimp in a bowl
Get the dressing out of the fridge and spoon a little over the shrimp, coating all the shrimp well; cover and refrigerate both bowls of dressing
Prep greens and any other veggies you want to add
1 large head of iceberg or a large bunch romaine lettuce, veggies of your choice: optional
Plate greens; spoon marinated shrimp onto greens and add any other veggies. Lightly season to taste with salt and pepper. Drizzle a little dressing over the salad if you want and enjoy!
salt and ground white pepper to taste

Notes

Sweet Chili Sauce - you'll find this in the Asian or International section of the grocery store. It might say "sweet Thai chili sauce" or just "sweet chili sauce" - NOTE: DO NOT use "sweet and sour sauce"
