Shrimp Caesar Salad

For many of us it is still too hot to cook. Here's a quick, easy and almost cook free salad. However if the thought of standing over a hot stove will make you crazy, pick up some cooked shrimp at the store

Serves 4
2 pounds shrimp, peeled and cleaned
1-2 heads romaine lettuce chopped
1/3 cup red onion sliced
2 cans garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
croutons
Caesar salad dressing bottled or my recipe(June 2011)
salt
pepper
olive oil

Heat a large skillet and add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the shrimp to the hot pan. Season with salt and pepper. Stir continually until all are cooked through about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the shrimp cool while you assemble the rest of the salad. Lay out the number of plates needed. Place a layer of lettuce on plates followed by the red onion and garbonzos. Drizzle the dressing over all. Top with the parmesan cheese, shrimp and croutons. Serve.
