Blackened Shrimp Salad with Teppan Dressing

Simple Shrimp Turned Up

This shrimp salad recipe is so quick and easy to pull together. In 30 minutes or less, you have a healthy and delicious entrée salad that’s bursting with flavor.

We use the dry rub on one side of the shrimp only for this recipe… it’s the perfect level of heat. Yet the shrimp maintain their sweet, delicate flavor. It’s quick-cook at its finest: 5 minutes.

East Meets West

This shrimp salad recipe blends Asian and Cajun flavors for pure delight. The slightly sweet and tangy carrot ginger dressing… and the spicy blackened shrimp are plated perfection.

You’ll need a good cast iron skillet

If you don’t have one, get one! This workhorse is one of the most affordable and versatile tools you will ever have.

Perfect for blackening, searing, frying, and even baking… it’s THE must-have pan.

We like this USA-made skillet from Lodge:

Recipe Notes

Check ingredients and/or manufacturer's website to ensure herbs and spices are gluten free.

We like frozen shrimp, thawed overnight in the refrigerator. Because they're packed at the peak of freshness.

For a quick thaw method, place the frozen shrimp in a colander. Place the colander in a bowl of cold water. Let sit for 7-10 minutes.

Remove the colander. Replace the water in the bowl with new cold water. Resubmerge the colander of shrimp in the bowl. Let sit for 10-15 additional minutes until shrimp are fully thawed.

Pat dry before cooking.
