Preparation and Assembly

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well coated. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until blackened and cooked through.

    Prepare the Salad Base

    Cut the romaine lettuce head into quarters and place them on a serving platter. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Add Toppings

    Slice the avocado and tomato and arrange them on top of the romaine wedges. Sprinkle the bacon bits, pickled red onions, and blue cheese crumbles generously over the salad.

  4. 4

    Finish with Shrimp and Dressing

    Top the salad with the blackened grilled shrimp and drizzle with chipotle ranch dressing. Garnish with chopped chives.
