Bay Shrimp Louie is a classic West Coast salad, made of fresh bay shrimp, cherry tomatoes, avocado, and hard-boiled eggs on a bed of crisp lettuce. Topped with a spicy signature dressing, Shrimp Louie is a light, refreshing main dish salad especially well-suited for hot weather.
Combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, lemon juice, sweet pickle juice, Worcestershire, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a medium mixing bowl and whisk to combine.Add sugar, salt, and pepper to taste. Chill until ready to use. The dressing will thicken over time, and can be made up to a week ahead of time.
Run the shrimp under cold water in a colander and drain them thoroughly.Lay out bed of lettuce, and arrange the shrimp, tomato halves, sliced avocado and cucumber, hard-boiled egg wedges, and green onions on top.
Drizzle the prepared Louie Dressing over the top and serve immediately, with lemon wedges and extra dressing on the side.
Notes
Shrimp Louie can be assembled on individual plates, or on a larger serving platter. For the freshest flavor and presentation, Shrimp Louie should be assembled just before serving.
