What you will need to make our Shrimp Cobb Salad with Spicy Blue Cheese Dressing

Variations of Cobb Salad

• Protein: Feel free to sub in any protein you have on hand. Grilled chicken breast, shredded crab, grilled salmon all work well.
• Dressing: If you do not like blue cheese try substituting it with some feta. The jalapeño adds a great spicy kick to this dressing control the amount according to your preference. Or leave it out all together.
• Vegetables: The first cobb salad ever made used whatever was found in the fridge. Feel free to do the same. Regular or cherry tomatoes, lettuce or kale, add carrots, cucumbers, whatever you like make it your own.

Let’s Make Cobb Salad

First, let’s take care of all of our vegetables. Proceed with washing and drying all your vegetables using cold water. Especially the greens, using damp or wet lettuce hinders the crispiness we all crave in a salad.

Whip up the Dressing

This is such a yummy dressing. Whisk up a batch to use for your salads and keep the rest in the fridge for up to 1 week. Use the leftovers as a dip for crunchy veggies like carrots and cucumbers.

Place olive oil + vinegar in a mixing bowl. Give it a whisk. Then add in mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, Worcestershire sauce, shallots, salt, and pepper, whisk well to combine. Add the blue cheese and whisk again.

Finally, use a pestle and mortar or a small food processor and crush as much or as little of the jalapeños as you like. Add to your dressing and whisk. Set in fridge.

Prepare the Shrimp

Peel and devein your shrimp. Place shrimp in a bowl and add 3 tbsp olive oil, salt, pepper, chili powder, paprkia and garlic, mix well.

Shrimp are easy because they cook in just a couple of minutes. Heat a skillet on medium-high heat. When it’s hot, add half the shrimp in a single layer and cook for about 2 minutes on each side. Repeat with the rest of the shrimp. Set aside (if you want them room temperature) or place them in the fridge while we prepare the salad.
