Grilled Shrimp Louie � Dressing Up a Classic

I don�t do a lot of salad dressing videos, since it�s pretty much just adding things to a bowl, but when that dressing is going on a grilled shrimp Louie, I�ll make an exception. By the way, this is usually done with crab, but I think the smoky, grilled shrimp are a great summertime twist.

This is my take on a classic Louie dressing, and as with all such recipes, you�ll need to taste and adjust for acid, salt, and heat. Just be sure to wait until the dressing is nice and cold before tasting. You�ll get a more accurate reading, since that�s the temperature we�re going to be serving at.

If you do grill the shrimp, don�t toss it with the oil and lemon until right before you grill. This isn�t a marinade, and we don�t want the shrimp to start �cooking� in the acid. I really hope you give this a try soon. Enjoy!
