Shrimp Wedge Salad
Shrimp Wedge Salad

Easily attainable iceberg lettuce makes this shrimp wedge salad with old bay breadcrumbs & hot sauce dressing a great meal choice. I always have frozen shrimp in my freezer, and always have lettuce, either iceberg or romaine. The hot sauce dressing is from mayonnaise and milk and your favorite hot sauce (I used Louisiana hot sauce) which we most have on hand and if you don’t have breadcrumbs, they are easily made.

This recipe was in the March, 2020 issue of Food and Wine and I just had to make it! So happy I did! It is beautiful! It is delicious! It is a keeper!

And you know, just because we can’t eat out doesn’t mean we can’t have restaurant style food. If the kids don’t like the shrimp, leave them off. The dressing spiciness is controlled by you. Make the kids a wedge salad with breaded chicken nuggets or a grilled chicken breast. Want a more substantial meal? Add a bowl of soup! This tomato soup would be a great accompaniment for this salad. Here’s the recipe that’s on my blog also: https://the2spoons.com/tomato-soup/

I buy my shrimp fresh from my favorite HEB and I also buy the frozen shrimp from Sams Club. I usually buy the large to jumbo shrimp. Either are great. The frozen are flash frozen fresh so they are always great. I purchase the fresh from my HEB because they have these large shrimp with the heads on which I like because they make great stock fro making mostly gumbos and other Louisiana dishes. I always have shrimp in my freezer. Here’s a link for the Sam’s club shrimp I purchase: https://www.samsclub.com/p/raw-jumbo-shrimp-21-25-members-mark/prod21422506?xid=plp_product_1_1

The salad finishes with capers as a garnish. You can leave those off if you don’t have, but I keep them. Capers are delicious!
