A refreshing and flavorful twist on the classic Caesar salad, featuring succulent shrimp and a zesty homemade dressing.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, water, juice from the lemon, grated Parmesan cheese, black pepper, chili sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic until smooth.
For a smoother dressing, ensure the Parmesan cheese is finely grated.
In a large bowl, combine the croutons, shaved Parmesan cheese, cooked shrimp, and chopped romaine lettuce.
Toss the ingredients gently to avoid bruising the lettuce.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Add the dressing gradually to control the amount and avoid overdressing.
Sprinkle the toasted pine nuts over the salad and garnish with fresh chives.
Toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes to enhance their flavor.
Serve the salad immediately and enjoy your meal.
Serve the salad on chilled plates for a refreshing experience.
