• olive oil – You’ll slather the lettuce and shrimp with oil before grilling for the perfect texture.
• shrimp – You can use fresh shrimp or frozen, thawed shrimp.
• lettuce – You’ll need a head of lettuce cut in half.
• cherry tomatoes – I like to cut cherry tomatoes in half for perfect bite-sized pieces.

How to Make Roasted Lettuce Salad

Cooking romaine lettuce on the grill and turning it into a delicious hot salad is one of the best and easiest ways to take your salad to the next level.

1. Make the dressing: In a blender, combine all dressing ingredients. Pulse a few times until everything is nicely combined.
2. Grilled Shrimp: Pat the shrimp dry and season with the spice mix. Shrimp are placed on skewers and grilled until opaque and slightly charred on each side.
3. Roasted lettuce: Drizzle the lettuce with oil and place, cut side down, on the grill until wilted and slightly charred.
4. Combine and serve: On a serving platter, serve grilled shrimp, lettuce, and remaining salad ingredients. Drizzle with dressing, sprinkle with a little Parmesan, and serve.

How to wash romaine lettuce before grilling?

The easiest way to wash lettuce is to place the leaves in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Let the leaves soak in the water for a few minutes, then gently brush them with your hands to remove any dirt or grime.

After washing the leaves, pat them dry to remove excess moisture, and they’re good to go!

What’s the best way to slice lettuce into a salad?

service suggestion

This grilled salad is delicious on its own as a light dinner, but I like to serve it with a refreshing smoothie and a side dish or two. Here are some favorites:

how to store

I do not recommend storing the salad after assembling it. Best eaten right away!

However, for success, you can grill the shrimp ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
