¼ tsp Morton’s Lite Salt times

¼ tsp Ground pepper

3 tsp Italian seasoning

Salad Dressing

If you have your own favorite, use that. If not, use this one

Add olive oil, vinegar, water, and 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning to bowl or tall plastic cup.

Just before serving, whisk vigorously for about a minute until well combined. Pour over salad BEFORE adding the croutons.

Croutons

I made these in an air fryer. You can try them in an oven or toaster oven.

Preheat air fryer or oven to 400 degrees.

Take day old bread and stack. Cut into crouton size squares. Should be about 12-16 per slice of bread.

Add to a metal bowl and spray 3 times with cooking spray.

Add a heavy pinch of Italian seasoning and a shake of salt and pepper.

Shake bowl to cover the cubes with seasoning and put in the air fryer. If using an over, put on a sheet pan lined with tin foil.

Cook for 5 minutes. Stir and give them another 2-3 minutes until golden brown. It may take longer in an over, so keep checking.

Remove and set aside. Try one and season if needed.

Shrimp

Mix shrimp, a heavy pinch of Italian seasoning and salt and pepper in a mixing bowl and let sit for 20 minutes in the refrigerator.

Preheat and indoor grill and add shrimp.

Shrimp should be cooked in 2-4 minutes.

Assemble the dish. Salad first

Drizzle dressing over the salad.

Add shrimp next and croutons last to keep them crunchy.

Enjoy!
