Its dressing is perfection: garlicky, lemony, creamy. Romaine lettuce leaves hold the dressing without going limp, while a showering of Parmesan cheese adds a rich finishing touch of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-umami-plus-why-you-should-definitely-have-it-on-your-plate\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-umami-plus-why-you-should-definitely-have-it-on-your-plate\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">umami<\/a>.

Refrigerate until serving.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Tip:<\/em> You may do this step up to one day ahead of time. Cover the bowl with storage wrap, and store it in the fridge to keep it fresh.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Fry the shrimp<\/h3>\n<p>In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, salt and pepper. Add the shrimp, a few pieces at a time, and toss to coat. Shake off excess flour mix.<\/p>\n<p>In a deep skillet, heat 1\/4 inch oil to 375\u00b0F.

Try Cajun or Old Bay seasoning on your shrimp for some added pizzazz.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Change up the vegetables:<\/strong> A classic Caesar salad doesn&#8217;t usually call for any vegetables other than the romaine lettuce, but we added tomatoes because they&#8217;re tasty. Go ahead and add anything you like, from shredded carrots or cabbage to crunchy peppers and celery.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Shrimp Caesar Salad<\/h2>\n<p>Once tossed in dressing, salad doesn&#8217;t keep very well because the lettuce quickly gets soggy and wilted. The best way to store leftover shrimp Caesar salad is to keep each element separated, each in its own airtight container in the refrigerator. Leftover fried shrimp will keep up to two days in the fridge, while salad greens will keep for up to four days.<\/p>\n<h2>Shrimp Caesar Salad Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1988067 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Crispy-Shrimp-Caesar-Salad_FT24_174184_EC_042324_4.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Crispy Shrimp Caesar Salad \" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How can you avoid overcooking shrimp?<\/h3>\n<p>When cooking shrimp, it&#8217;s crucial not to overdo it, which can make delicate shrimp turn tough.
