While Caesar dressing is often paired with mild romaine, we love how its bold flavour stands up to kale and garlicky grilled shrimp. If you’re an anchovy rookie, don’t be intimidated—and don’t omit the tiny fish from the dressing. Once incorporated, they lend critical umami depth. Allow the dressed kale to sit for 20 minutes for a mellower texture and taste.

Ingredients

Cooking spray

4 spray(s)

Uncooked shrimp

1½ pound(s), large, peeled and deveined

Lemon zest

1 tsp(s), finely grated

Garlic

1 clove(s), large, crushed with a garlic press, divided

Table salt

¼ tsp(s), divided

Uncooked anchovies

2 item(s), chopped and well mashed, or 1 tsp anchovy paste

Fresh lemon juice

2 tbsp(s)

Plain fat free Greek yogurt

2 tbsp(s)

Reduced calorie mayonnaise

2 tbsp(s)

Olive oil

2 tsp(s)

Dijon mustard

½ tsp(s)

Black pepper

tsp(s)

Grated Parmesan cheese

¼ cup(s), plus 1⁄2 oz Parmesan shaved with a vegetable peeler

Kale

¾ pound(s), (about 1 bunch), stems and tough ribs removed, leaves thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp, lemon zest, 1⁄4 tsp of the garlic, and 1⁄8 tsp of the salt.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the anchovies, lemon juice, yogurt, mayonnaise, oil, mustard, black pepper, and the remaining garlic and 1⁄8 tsp salt. Whisk in the grated cheese. Add the kale and toss until the kale is completely coated.
  3. Coat a large grill pan with cooking spray and preheat over medium-high. Arrange the shrimp in a single layer on the pan (working in batches if necessary) and grill until just opaque in the centers, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
  4. Divide the salad and shrimp among 4 plates. Garnish with the shaved cheese.
  5. Serving size: 1¼ cups salad, about 9 shrimp, and about 3 Parmesan shavings
