- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

For the Salad:
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 large head of romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1 cup croutons (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions:
For the Caesar Dressing:
In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk all the ingredients together until the dressing is smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add more lemon juice or Parmesan cheese to suit your taste.
For the Salad:
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the peeled and deveined shrimp with paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the cooked shrimp from the skillet and set them aside.
In a large salad bowl, place the chopped romaine lettuce.
Pour about half of the Caesar dressing over the lettuce and toss to coat evenly. You can add more dressing if desired.
Add the croutons and grated Parmesan cheese to the salad and toss again.
Arrange the cooked shrimp on top of the Caesar salad.
Garnish with lemon wedges and an extra sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
