How to make Shrimp Louie salad

1. Make the dressing: Stir together the ingredients for the salad dressing. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary then set aside.
2. Cook the shrimp: Peel and devein the shrimp. In a large pot of salted water, add a sliced lemon and a generous pinch of salt. Once boiling, add the shrimp and poach for a minute then remove and rinse under cold water. Allow to drain.
3. Assemble the salad: Place the lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced avocado and peeled and sliced boiled eggs into a large serving bowl or platter with the cooled shrimp. I like to serve it this way and serve the dressing on the side so everyone can add as much or as little dressing as they prefer.

Can I make this ahead?

The shrimp and eggs can be cooked a day in advance and kept in an airtight container in the fridge. The dressing will also last in a jar in the refrigerator for up to a week.
