Shrimp Louie Salad
Shrimp Louie salad has become one of my go-to meals when I want something light yet satisfying. I love the mix of crunchy romaine, tender shrimp, creamy avocado, and hard-boiled eggs, all tied together with a tangy Louie dressing. It’s naturally gluten-free and dairy-free, so it works for just about everyone. Best of all, it feels like a treat while still being simple to pull together.
