Ingredients

US Customary - Metric

For the Shrimp

  • 2 hearts romaine chopped
  • 20 shrimp large uncooked, peeled, tails-on
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper freshly ground

For the Dressing

  • 1/2 cup buttermilk low-fat (optional, Greek yogurt)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 green onions chopped
  • 1/4 cup cilantro fresh
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 2 tablespoons onions thinly sliced
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place shrimp on a large parchment-lined baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and garlic. In a small bowl, stir together red pepper flakes, paprika, onion powder, garlic salt, and pepper. Sprinkle over shrimp.
  • Roast shrimp in oven for 4-6 minutes, or just until they turn pink and curl into c-shapes. (They've overcooked when they begin to curl into o-shapes, so be sure to pull them out of the oven just as they finish cooking!)
  • In a blender or small food processor, combine all dressing ingredients together until smooth and creamy. Toss over chopped romaine. Top with cooked shrimp and almonds. Enjoy!
