Spicy Sweet Shrimp Panzanella

Buttery shrimp gets coated in a sweet-and-spicy chipotle glaze, then piled over crisp romaine, chunks of naan, and a bright lime-Caesar dressing. It’s the kind of salad that clearly refused to be boring—shrimp, creamy dressing, and bread made sure of that.

Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup chipotle pepper sauce
  • 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • ½ cup Caesar dressing
  • 6 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • 2 naan flatbreads
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 pound peeled and deveined shrimp

Instructions

  • Mix Sweet-Spicy Sauce: Add the chipotle pepper sauce and brown sugar to a small mixing bowl. Whisk until the brown sugar is evenly incorporated, then set the sauce aside.
  • Prepare Naan: Place the naan flatbreads on a baking sheet. Lightly brush the tops with water and set them aside.
  • Make Lime-Caesar Dressing: Add the lime zest and lime juice to a large mixing bowl. Pour in the Caesar dressing and whisk until smooth and evenly combined.
  • Add Romaine: Add the chopped romaine lettuce to the bowl with the lime-Caesar dressing. Leave it untossed until the naan and shrimp are ready.
  • Cut Naan: Place the naan flatbreads on a cutting board. Cut them into strips, then cut across the strips to make bite-size pieces.
  • Melt Butter: Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and cook for about 1 minute, or until melted and beginning to foam.
  • Cook Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the hot skillet. Cook over medium-high heat for about 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the shrimp are opaque and lightly browned.
  • Glaze Shrimp: Pour the prepared chipotle and brown sugar sauce over the shrimp. Stir well to coat and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly and clings to the shrimp.
  • Add Naan: Add the bite-size naan pieces to the bowl with the romaine and dressing.
  • Toss Salad: Toss the romaine and naan until everything is evenly coated with the lime-Caesar dressing.
  • Add Shrimp: Spoon the warm glazed shrimp over the dressed romaine and naan.
  • Serve: Divide the Spicy Sweet Shrimp Panzanella among serving bowls and serve immediately while the shrimp are warm.
