Caesar Salad with Spicy Shrimp

Using light mayonnaise and lime juice in the dressing considerably reduces the calories and fat in this salad. Chili powder adds spice to the shrimp and chip croutons.

Prep: 30 minutes
Total: 30 minutes

Ingredients

Serves 4

  • 4 corn tortillas (5-inch)
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper
  • 3/4 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/3 cup light mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish
  • 4 anchovy fillets, rinsed and minced
  • 1 large head romaine lettuce (1 1/2 pounds), cut into 1-inch pieces

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place tortillas on a baking sheet. Brush both sides with 1 teaspoon oil; sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, and season with salt and pepper. Bake until golden brown and crisp, turning once, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool, then break into pieces.
