Amazing Shrimp Louie Salad

Total Time: 25 mins Preparation Time: 25 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 1
• 1/4 lb baby shrimp
• 1 hard-boiled egg, sliced (instructions below for ab's perfect not-boiled hard-boiled egg.*)
• 6 -8 slices cucumbers, peeled
• 3 -4 grape tomatoes, halved
• 6 -8 black olives, pitted
• 4 spears canned asparagus (yes, canned is actually better... fresh is too tough, even if cooked perfectly.)
• 1/4 cup thousand island dressing (or a much better dressing in my opinion... louie dressing (for seafood salads or reuben sandwiches).)
• 1/4 head iceberg lettuce, torn into bite-sized pieces (or romaine if you prefer)

Recipe

• 1 *for the perfect hard-boiled egg, courtesy of ab: place a steamer in a large sauce pan with a well-fitted lid. bring about 1/4 inch of water up to boiling. place no less than 3 and no more than 6 eggs in the steamer. cover and steam for 12 minutes. remove eggs from steamer and drop directly into iced water. the eggs will be firm but tender, easy to peel, and will have a solid and creamy but not dry yolk. thanks, ab!
