Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a pot of boiling salted water, add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink. Drain and set aside to cool.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel to drain excess fat. Once cooled, crumble into small pieces.

  3. 3

    Boil the Eggs

    Place the eggs in a pot of cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 10-12 minutes. Remove eggs and place in ice water for 5 minutes, then peel and chop.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash the lettuce and tear into bite-sized pieces. Dice the tomatoes into small cubes.

Dressing Preparation

  1. 5

    Make the Dressing

    In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Combine the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, add the lettuce, shrimp, crumbled bacon, diced tomatoes, and chopped eggs. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Transfer the salad to a serving platter or individual bowls. Enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.
