So this may not look like something that special, but trust me, it' seriously DELISH, and super easy!
What you'll need (serves 2):
My Vinaigrette Dressing (here)
1 head of Romaine
20-25 medium frozen shrimp
1 cup whole wheat pasta
2-3 corn tortillas
1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
Handful of cherry tomatoes
Start by chopping up the romaine, slicing cherry tomatoes, combine in a bowl and set aside. Now you'll cook 3 things sorta at the same time: pasta, shrimp, and tortillas) Start your pasta cooking, I used whole wheat rotini, but you can really use any kind you like. Once it cooks, you'll want to strain and rinse with cold water. When it is cool, add it to the bowl with the lettuce and tomatoes. Next, slice your tortillas into small strips good for frying. Then heat a skillet with a healthy drizzle of frying oil (peanut. safflower, or canola). Throw the tortillas in and sprinkle with salt. Cook until crispy, stirring around occasionally. When they are done, place on a paper-towel lined plate and set aside. While thats cooking, you'll also want to cook the Shrimps. Heat a skillet with some cooking spray and put the shrimp in frozen, let them defrost, then add about 3 Tablespoons of dressing, and let it cook and thicken on the shrimps, and let them get a little crispy. When all of that is done, drizzle the lettuce, tomato, pasta mix with dressing and toss, and then add some parmesan cheese and toss that in. To serve, place the salad down first, then pour the shrimps over, and top with the tortilla strips, and enjoy!!
