Shrimp Caesar Salad

A simple, tasty Caesar salad is a great mainstay when it comes to a light lunch. However, to make it even better and more nutritious, a few small changes and a healthy helping of shrimp make it way better.

A simple Caesar salad is one of the great versatile recipes that are perfect for enjoying at all times of the day.

However, one of the big problems with a regular Caesar salad is the lack of any good protein, at least enough to make a satisfying meal.

This recipe fixes that problem, adding in some tasty, freshly peeled shrimp to not only provide a more intense umami flavor profile but also to help bolster the calories and make it a bit more of a meal.

Ingredients:

1 Tablespoon minced garlic peeled divided

3/4 cup full fat mayonnaise

3 teaspoons anchovy paste

1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 Tablespoon lemon juice or more to taste

salt to taste

ground black pepper to taste
