Shrimp Instructions

Heat oven to 400°F and place shrimp on a parchment lined baking sheet.

Add olive oil, salt, and pepper and lightly toss the shrimp.

Bake the shrimp for 6-8 minutes, or until shrimp are opaque and pinkish white in color.

Squeeze lemon over the shrimp and lightly shower with fresh dill. Set aside to cool.

Tartar Dressing Instructions

Place the mayonnaise, yogurt, relish, capers, herbs, sugar, and vinegar in medium sized bowl and whisk to combine.

Season to taste and add more water or milk if you want it thinner. If it’s too thin, thicken the mixture up with more yogurt or mayo.

Crispy Panko Topping Instructions

Add oil to a small frying pan over medium or medium-low heat. Once oil is hot, add in panko, salt, and pepper.

Toss panko every 15-30 seconds as it toasts to keep it from browning too quickly.

Cook for about 5-8 minutes, or until panko is deep golden brown in color but not burnt. Remove from heat and set aside.

Salad Instructions

Add the lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onion to a large salad bowl and toss to combine.

Top the salad with the avocado, cooked shrimp, and crispy panko.

Spoon over your desired amount of tartar dressing and gently toss the salad so that it’s lightly coated.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Shrimp Searing Secrets 🦐
Pat shrimp completely dry before cooking to achieve a golden, crispy exterior and prevent steaming. Use a paper towel to remove excess moisture for perfect pan-frying results.
Panko Perfection 🥣
Toast panko breadcrumbs in a dry pan before using to enhance their nutty flavor and ensure maximum crispiness. Stir constantly to prevent burning and achieve an even golden color.
Tartar Dressing Balance 🥄
Let the tartar dressing sit for 15-20 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and develop a more complex taste profile. The capers and herbs will infuse more deeply into the yogurt and mayonnaise base.
Shrimp Timing Trick ⏱️
Cook shrimp just until they turn opaque and curl slightly - typically 2-3 minutes per side - to prevent overcooking and maintain their tender, juicy texture.
Fresh Herb Maximization 🌿
Chop fresh dill and parsley right before adding to the dish to preserve their volatile oils and maximize flavor intensity. Use a sharp knife to prevent bruising the herbs.
