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 🙂

If you're in the need for a salad dressing shaker I own this one and love it. OXO Good Grips Salad Dressing Shaker!
Next, place salad greens into a large bowl and drizzle with half the dressing tossing to combine. Arrange on top of the greens your tomatoes, blue cheese, Grandma's shrimp, hard boiled egg, and kalamata olives. Drizzle remaining dressing on top and serve!
