Shrimp Scampi-Caesar Romaine Salad
You know how you just get a craving for something, you know what you want it to taste like and you just make it. This was me the other day lunch. I wanted shrimp, I wanted a salad, and was craving the flavors of garlic and caesar. I craved this for about three days and finally gave into my craving. I made Shrimp Scampi-Caesar Romaine Salad. It’s sort of a mix between scampi shrimp and Caesar. It also has some versatility, you can cut the lettuce into wedges, wrap it, or cut it for an actual salad. Whatever you decide, give this recipe a try! It’s super easy and delicious.
