    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 🙂

    Ingredients to make Grandma's shrimp

    To make my Grandma's shrimp you will need the following!

    1. 1 lb of shrimp, peeled and deveined
    2. 1 tsp kosher salt
    3. ½ tsp ground black pepper
    4. ½ tsp adobo seasoning
    5. 1 tbsp garlic powder
    6. 1 tbsp old bay
    7. 10 tabs of unsalted butter (or drizzle with 1 tbsp of avocado oil to health it up, but Grandma wouldn't approve)
    8. ¼ cup panko bread crumbs

    Ingredients for the cobb salad

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

    1. 3 tbsp avocado oil
    2. 3 tbsp white-wine vinegar
    3. 1 tbsp dijon mustard
    4. ½ tsp ground black pepper
    5. ¼ tsp kosher salt
    6. 10 cups of mixed greens
    7. 1 lb of cooked shrimp (Grandma's shrimp)
    8. 1 cup halved cherries
    9. 2 large hard boiled eggs, peeled and halved
    10. 2 slices of turkey bacon, cooked and chopped
    11. ¼ cup of crumbled blue cheese
    12. ½ cup of pitted kalamata olives

    How to make this shrimp

    First, place the mustard, vinegar, oil, salt, and pepper in a lidded jar.  Shake well until combined and store in fridge until ready to use.

    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!
