  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Dressing:
  • ¼ cup Stonyfield Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup shaved Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
  • 1 large garlic clove
  • 1 tablespoon capers, drained
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • For the Salad and Shrimp:
  • 1 head romaine, chopped (about 4 cups)
  • 1 pound large shrimp (20 to 24 per pound), peeled, deveined, tails removed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • For the Croutons:
  • 4 slices French bread or other crusty bread, cubed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Make the dressing: In a small blender or food processor, blend Greek yogurt, Parmesan, garlic, capers, Dijon mustard, lemon zest, lemon juice, and black pepper until smooth.
  2. Cook the shrimp: Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Toss shrimp with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then cook until opaque, 2–3 minutes per side.
  3. Make the croutons: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). On a baking sheet, toss bread cubes with oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Bake until golden brown, 5–10 minutes.
  4. Assemble salad: In a large bowl, toss romaine with dressing, shrimp, and croutons. Serve immediately, topped with extra Parmesan if desired.

Notes

  • Store lettuce, shrimp, and dressing separately to keep ingredients fresh until serving.
  • Adjust lemon juice for more tang in the dressing.
  • Croutons can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container.
