Method

Preparation of Seafood

  1. 1

    Prepare the Seafood

    If using crabmeat, gently break it into chunks. If using shrimp, ensure they are peeled and deveined. If they are raw, boil them in salted water for about 2-3 minutes until they turn pink, then drain and cool.

Salad Base

    Prepare the Lettuce

    In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped romaine and iceberg lettuces. Toss them together to ensure an even mix.

Dressing Preparation

    Make the Dressing

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Combine Ingredients

  1. 4

    Combine Salad

    Add the prepared seafood of your choice (jumbo lump crabmeat or baby shrimp) to the lettuce mixture. Drizzle the dressing over the top and gently toss everything together until the seafood and lettuce are well coated with the dressing.

Finishing Touches

    Garnish and Serve
