Description
The Caesar salad is a true hit, and although it appeared in our country only 20-25 years ago, it has already become a classic. And, of course, it has inspired numerous culinary variations. For instance, with shrimp. To prepare Caesar salad with shrimp, follow the classic recipe: mix lettuce leaves, croutons, and Parmesan cheese, then add a homemade dressing made from Worcestershire sauce, egg yolk with mustard, olive oil, lemon juice, and, of course, anchovies. Quickly sauté the shrimp in a pan to achieve a crispy crust.
