Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup greek yogurt green goddess dressing
  • 2 pounds raw shrimp peeled and deveined (16/20 per pound)
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil or oil safe for high temp cooking
  • 2 tablespoons blackened seasoning
  • 5 ounces spring mix lettuces
  • 5 ounces crispy lettuce
  • 2 ounces micro greens
  • 2 cups cherry tomatos halved
  • 2 persian cucumbers sliced
  • 1 small red onion thinly sliced
  • 3 ears corn grilled and sliced off the cob
  • 2 small avocados sliced
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • kosher salt to taste
  • 1/4 cup fresh chives snipped

Instructions

  • For this salad I like to dress it with my greek yogurt green goddess dressing. However, this avocado ranch would also be amazing!

GRILL THE CORN:

  • Meanwhile, preheat your grill to 400℉ (or 200℃) or preheat a grill pan on your stovetop. Spray your corn on the cob with avocado oil or extra light olive oil and grill for about 8 to 10 minutes or until bright yellow and charred in spots. Let cool until safe to handle and slice off of the cob.

MAKE THE BLACKENED SHRIMP:

  • In a bowl, add shrimp, oil and blackened seasoning. Toss well to coat.
  • preheat your air fryer to 400℉ (or 200℃). Once preheated, cook for 8 minutes or until opaque and cooked through, tossing or shaking the shrimp halfway through. Once cooked, allow the shrimp to cool a bit.
    Note: You could also pan fry in butter or skewer and grill.

BUILD THE SALAD:

  • In a large bowl, add 5 ounces spring lettuce leaves, 5 ounces of a crispy lettuce blend and 2 ounces micro-greens (optional of course). Toss to combine
  • Divide salad greens among bowls, top with sliced red onion, cucumber, avocado, tomatoes, corn sliced off the cob, the shrimp and crumbled feta cheese. Drizzle with dressing and I like to season with a little salt and some freshly ground black pepper. Lastly sprinkle of snipped chives.
