Instructions
Shrimp BLT Salad
Dry shrimp well with paper towels. Sprinkle both sides with a bit of salt and pepper
Brown bacon in a large skillet over medium to medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. This should take about 10 minutes. Remove bacon pieces to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
Pour off all but about 2 Tbsp of the bacon fat. Heat the remaining fat over medium-high heat. When the pan in nice and hot, add the shrimp, one by one, leaving plenty of space in between them. Cook for about 30 seconds per side for medium-large shrimp. Adjust cook time based on size of shrimp. They are done when they are opaque throughout and pink on the outside. Take care not to overcook them. Remove to a plate. You may need to work in batches.
Assemble your salads with the lettuce, shrimp, tomatoes, avocado, green onions, and all but 1oz of the bacon (you will need that for the dressing).
Creamy Bacon Balsamic Dressing
Add all dressing ingredients to a glass measuring cup. Use a hand blender to blend it all together until the oil has emulsified. This should take about 30 seconds. That's it!!! Alternately, you can use a regular blender for the job! Just as easy.
Pour the dressing over your salads and you're ready to eat! If making for meal prep, keep dressing separate until it's time to eat.
