Instructions

Creating your Cajun Shrimp Cobb Salad is simple when you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Prepare the Shrimp: In a bowl, toss the peeled and deveined shrimp with Cajun seasoning until evenly coated.

2. Cook the Shrimp: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the Cajun shrimp to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.

3. Prepare the Salad Base: In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, crumbled feta, sliced hard-boiled eggs, red onion, and corn.

4. Make the Dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together red wine vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. Assemble the Salad: Add the cooked shrimp to the salad bowl, then drizzle with the homemade dressing. Toss gently to combine all ingredients.

6. Garnish: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top for a burst of flavor and color.

7. Serve Immediately: Plate the salad onto individual serving dishes or a large platter for sharing.
