  • 1 tbsp butter unsalted
  • 2 tbsp olive oil 1 tbsp for the chicken, 2 tbsp for the cast iron
  • 2 tbsp chipotle powder or simply season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
For everything else:
  • 6 trips Bacon
  • 4-6 cups romaine lettuce
  • 1 Red Onions diced
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes halved

  • 1-2 avocado diced
  • goat cheese as much or as little as you'd like

Instructions

To Make the Shrimp
    Cup of Yum
  1. Pat dry your shrimp. Toss the shrimp with your seasoning of choice, I used chipotle powder.
  2. Heat a cast iron (or pan of your choice) on medium heat and melt the butter with the olive oil before adding in your shrimp, cooking for 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning once between cooking, about 4 to 6 minutes or until the shrimp is opaque.
To Make The Bacon
  1. Heat oven to 400F.
  2. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper, then place the bacon strips side by side.
  3. Bake the bacon for 18-20 minutes or until it’s reached your desired level of crispiness. Transfer the bacon with tongs to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb extra oil.
  4. Roughly chop into small pieces.
To Assemble
  1. Combine the chopped romaine lettuce, red onions, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, corn, avocado, goat cheese, crumbled bacon, and shrimp.
  2. Top with some salad dressing if desired.
