Poor Girl's Seafood Cobb ala' Gwyneth Paltrow
Ok, here is my latest obsession: GP has a recipe for a similar salad in her cookbook, "My Father's Daughter" only hers is made with lobster so I am calling this the Poor Girl's version (me) as I am using shrimp instead. I've been using her chive vinaigrette recipe on every salad I have made since the holidays and it's incredible. Last night I discovered that I prefer the chive vinaigrette sans chives so I guess now it's just a vinaigrette. She also suggests using duck bacon but where the hell am I going to find that?! So I opted for another poor girl's ingredient, turkey bacon from TJ's. This is so easy, so healthy and so incredibly delish. Here is the recipe, serves 4:
- 2 bags butter lettuce from Trader Joes’s
- 1 avocado diced
- 8 pc. cooked turkey bacon cut into thin
strips or julienned
- 1 lb. shrimps, tails removed & cut in half , I use Whole Foods pre-cooked & wild caught, I also squeeze some lemon on the shrimp before serving
Vinaigrette from Gwyneth’s
cookbook, recipe makes about a ½ cup:
- 1 tsp Dijon
-
1 tsp maple syrup
-
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
-
¼ C plus 2 tbsp EVOO
- Salt and pepper to taste
