Method
Salad Preparation
Prepare the Salad Base
Begin by washing the Romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold water. Chop it into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.
Add Vegetables
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl. Slice the cucumber and red onion thinly, and add them as well. Dice the avocado and gently fold it into the salad mix.
Fried Shrimp Preparation
Prepare the Shrimp
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. In another bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs.
Coat the Shrimp
Dip each shrimp into the flour mixture, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs. Place the coated shrimp on a plate.
Fry the Shrimp
In a deep pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the shrimp in batches and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove shrimp and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Dressing Preparation
Mix the Dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Assembly
Assemble the Salad
Drizzle the salad base with the dressing and toss gently to combine. Top with the fried shrimp and serve immediately.
