Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Romaine

    Wash the romaine lettuce thoroughly under cold water. Remove any wilted leaves and chop the remaining romaine into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Make the Caesar Dressing

    If using homemade dressing, combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and grated Parmesan in a bowl. Whisk together until smooth. If using store-bought dressing, skip this step.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are cooked through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine, Caesar dressing, croutons, and half of the grated Parmesan cheese. Toss until everything is well coated.

  2. 6

    Add Protein

    Top the salad with sliced grilled chicken and cooked shrimp. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately, garnished with additional croutons and Parmesan if desired.
