Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Wash and dry produce.

  • Drain corn, then pat dry with paper towels. Quarter lemon. Halve tomatoes lengthwise.

Make Dressing
2
  • Heat a large dry pan over medium heat. Add ¼ tsp Cajun seasoning (½ tsp for 4 servings); cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. (You’ll use more Cajun Spice Blend in the next step.)

  • Transfer to a medium bowl; add Caesar dressing, mayonnaise, 1 TBSP olive oil, ¼ tsp sugar, and juice from one lemon wedge. (For 4 servings, use 2 TBSP olive oil, ½ tsp sugar, and juice from two lemon wedges.) Whisk to combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.

Cook Corn
3
  • Heat a drizzle of oil in same pan over high heat. Add half the corn (all for 4 servings), ¼ tsp Cajun seasoning (½ tsp Cajun seasoning for 4), and a pinch of salt and pepper. (You’ll use the rest of the Cajun Spice Blend in the next step.) Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and lightly charred in spots, 3-5 minutes. TIP: If corn begins to pop, cover pan.

  • Turn off heat; transfer to a plate and set aside to cool. Wipe out pan.

Cook Shrimp
4
  • While the corn cooks, rinse shrimp* under cold water, then pat dry with paper towels.

  • Heat a drizzle of oil in the same pan used for the corn over medium-high heat. Add shrimp, 1 tsp Cajun Spice Blend (be sure to measure—we sent more!), salt, and pepper. (For 4 servings, use remaining Cajun Spice Blend.) Cook, stirring occasionally, until opaque and cooked through, 3-4 minutes. Set aside.

Toss Salad
5
  • Trim and discard root end from lettuce; chop leaves into bite-size pieces.

  • In a large bowl, toss lettuce with half the charred corn, half the tomatoes, half the shrimp, and half the dressing. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.

Serve
6
  • Divide salad between bowls. Top with remaining charred corn, remaining shrimp, and remaining tomatoes. Drizzle with remaining dressing to taste. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges on the side.

  • Suggestions: Consider adding a crunchy element like croutons or cucumber; some suggested avocado for extra richness.
