Salad Base

Roasted Chickpeas

Panko Crusted Shrimp

Caesar Drizzle

Method

Preparing the Salad Base

  1. 1

    Prepare the Greens

    In a large bowl, combine the Romaine lettuce and arugula. Toss gently to mix.

  2. 2

    Add Pickled Onions

    Top the mixed greens with pickled red onions evenly.

Roasting Chickpeas

  1. 3

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 4

    Prepare Chickpeas

    Rinse and drain the canned chickpeas, then pat them dry with paper towels.

  3. 5

    Season Chickpeas

    In a mixing bowl, combine the chickpeas, olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.

  4. 6

    Roast Chickpeas

    Spread the seasoned chickpeas on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and crispy.

Panko Crusted Shrimp

  1. 7

    Prepare Shrimp

    Set up a breading station with three bowls: one for flour, one for the beaten egg, and one for panko breadcrumbs mixed with Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 8

    Bread the Shrimp

    Dip each shrimp first into the flour, then the egg, and finally coat with the panko mixture. Ensure each shrimp is well-coated.

  3. 9

    Cook Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook the breaded shrimp for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Making the Caesar Drizzle

  1. 10

    Combine Ingredients

    In a bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, shaved Parmesan, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

Assembling the Salad

    Top the Salad

    Spoon the roasted chickpeas and panko crusted shrimp over the salad base.
