Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine shrimp, half the garlic, lemon zest, and 1 tablespoon oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. In another medium bowl, toss bread with 1 tablespoon oil and season with salt and pepper. Thread shrimp and bread onto eight 8-inch wooden or metal skewers. Transfer skewers to a rimmed baking sheet and bake until shrimp is opaque throughout and croutons are golden, 7 minutes.

Oh my word!! This, to me, was one the best dishes I've ever made! I did as suggested and added anchovy - I used 2 fillets and added extra garlic to the dressing. The one thing I would change is maybe use just a little less lemon juice in the dressing. Other than that, this meal was simply perfect!! This goes into my rotation for sure!

Our family LOVES this recipe! We add some chili flakes for a little extra kick. I use the caesar dressing all the time as well.

I've made this one a few times now and really like it. I don't bother putting the shrimp on skewers. I do add anchovy paste to the dressing, and I use a raw egg yolk. Tastes authentic, lots of croutons.

My family thought this was an excellent recipe! I used the 26-30 size shrimp, and used anchovy paste in the dressing. We grilled it on a medium heat charcoal grill. There is a lot of room to individualize the salad, by adding whatever fresh vegetables you have available around the edge of the plate. I added wedged fresh tomatoes, and a side of marinated cucumber salad. Serve with a well chilled Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Gris wine!
