Caesar And The Goddess
Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat your broiler.
- In a bowl, toss together the shrimp, garlic, some fresh tarragon, some salt, 4 or 5 grindings of pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. Set aside and let marinate for a few minutes.
- For the garlic toast planks, slice the baguette in half, then lengthwise into four long thin slices, or however you like. Toast (or broil) in a hot oven for just a few minutes, until bread takes on some color. Watch it carefully, or you'll have burnt toast! Remove from oven.
- Rub toast planks with the whole garlic clove, and drizzle with olive oil. Set aside.
- Heat a large saute pan (I use non-stick) with a bit of olive oil to medium/high heat. Add shrimp and saute for just a few minutes on each side, or until opaque and cooked through. The shrimp will take on a lovely shade of pink/orange. Set aside.
- Cut Romaine leaves into 1" pieces and place in a large bowl. Set aside.
- In a blender, combine milk, mayo, lemon juice, parsley, garlic, tarragon, anchovies and Parmigiano. Hit the puree button and let it go until nice and smooth. If too thick, add a splash of milk and whiz it again. Taste for salt. Stir in a little pepper, if you'd like. Set aside.
- Sprinkle some fresh tarragon over the salad. Dollop a few big spoonfuls of the dressing onto the salad. Toss well. Add more dressing if desired. Shower some Parmigiano over top and toss lightly. Store remaining dressing in refrigerator.
- Plate the salad. Artfully arrange 5 shrimp on each salad. If desired, spoon a bit of dressing onto the shrimp. Grate more Parmigiano over top, if desired. Garnish with garlic toast planks alongside.
