This baked Grandma's shrimp cobb salad is everything! So, I've been on a shrimp and salad kick lately. I have no idea why! I think because I dislike winter so much and wish it was summer right now. This meal just screams summer to me! My family calls this baked Grandma's shrimp because when we were growing up my Grandma would have us over for dinner once a week. I was the picky eater and she knew I wouldn't eat a lot, but I ALWAYS loved this shrimp recipe. I could eat it everyday is how delicious is it!

So, this shrimp recipe originated from my Grandma and I've been meaning to write up a blog post for it for awhile. The shrimp can easily be enjoyed by itself or with some veggies on the side, but I decided to mix it into a healthy cobb salad! Don't get me wrong, I eat this shrimp all the time alone, but today I changed it up 🙂

What do you need for the cobb salad?

To make this cobb salad and the delicious dressing you will need the following!

How do you make Grandma's shrimp?

First, preheat oven to 300°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Lay your shrimp on the parchment paper in a single layer and pat dry. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, old bay, and adobo seasoning. Next, place the dabs or butter all around on top of the shrimp or drizzle with the olive oil. Then, top by sprinkling the panko breadcrumbs evenly over the shrimp. Last, bake for 20 minutes.
