Notes

Cooking Tips

Use chilled shrimp: Pre-cooked shrimp makes this recipe fast and keeps the salad refreshing.

Don’t overdress the salad: Serve dressing on the side if desired to keep the lettuce crisp.

Perfect hard-boiled eggs: Cook eggs for 10 minutes, then place in ice water for easy peeling.

Use large shrimp: Jumbo shrimp give the salad a restaurant-quality presentation.

Variations

Crab Louie Salad
Replace shrimp with fresh lump crab meat for another classic seafood version.

Grilled Shrimp Louie
Lightly grill shrimp with olive oil and garlic for a smoky flavor.

Low-Carb Version
Skip the ketchup and relish in the dressing and add extra lemon and Dijon.

Louie Salad Wraps
Serve the salad in butter lettuce cups for a lighter appetizer or party dish.

Avocado Louie Dressing
Blend half an avocado into the dressing for extra creaminess.
