I really like shrimp. I know, it's so lame, so middlebrow American.Just as long as I can get decently harvested wild shrimp, which means *not local*.
This was Gulf shrimp. Gulf??? With a dipping sauce of BP?
Nah. It was safe. Tasty. Tender. Just right.
It was cooked in a flavory oil, loaded with spices. Of your choosing. Some lemon.
Then a salad dressing was made in the sauteing pan. Yeah, right in all those sauteed flavors. A little more oil, a little more lemon juice. Dressing!
Hearts of romaine lettuce, and clever curls of avocado that looked just like vegan shrimp.
Rats, forgot croutons.

Looks all wilty goodness. I like when avocados sorta melt into the dish a bit.
I bought the makings of a caesar salad this weekend, as I've been jonesing for one (those poor Joneses, everyone always after them!). Not sure what protein du jour will be, but a quick, easy weeknight dinner, nonetheless!
It's middlebrow to eat prawns? O noes. *shifts to the middle*

AND BTW...that salad looks and sounds awesome. Definite FTS Rating of 10. (FTS:Fork through The Screen)
Little: Actually not wilty. The salad dressing was not cooked. Ogod, sounds good though.
Yeah, it was supposed to be Caesar, but no egg, no cheese, no croutons. WTF?
It is Salad Season, Ms. Jones!!
Mouse: I think shrimp (prawns) are considered sissy seafood, for people who can't abide actual scaly fish. Not That There's Anything Wrong With That.™
Simply: Whoa-ho! A side of you I didn't know. Keep it coming.
FTS! Better than "audible groan." :)
Shrimp and avocado, heavenly.
Yo, Dawg: (Oh, hate to call you dog now. Weep, weep.)
Yes! Avocado and shrimp is so Ladies' Lunch! Really good.
Not that's a shrimp salad.Is that a black plate? It looks as if the salad is suspended in air.
When food writing, there are many words I refuse to use because they sound twee or because they have been so overdone I can't bear to add one more repetition. "Nestled" is one of them. But that was the first word I thought when I saw your shrimp and avocado all cozy in the photo...One of my favorite combinations, too. Thanks for the inspiration.
Greg: It's a very dark brown plate. Cool effect, huh?
Kudzu: Well, I think it all depends on who's doing the nestling. If the chef "nestles" something into something, bad menu writing. If the avocado and the shrimp suddenly decide to get it on, whoopie!
Gingrich: Smart Ass(hole)
Zoomie: Very succinct!
