How to Make Amazing Shrimp Louie Salad

  1. **Prepare Hard-Boiled Eggs:** Place a steamer basket in a large saucepan with about 1/4 inch of water. Bring to a boil. Add 3-6 large eggs to the steamer basket, cover, and steam for exactly 12 minutes. Immediately transfer eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Once cool, peel and slice.
  2. **Chill the Salad Bowl:** Place your salad bowl in the freezer for 30 minutes before assembling the salad to keep everything perfectly chilled.
  3. **Prep Ingredients:** While the eggs are cooling, prepare all remaining ingredients. Ensure everything is well-chilled.
  4. **Assemble the Salad:** Line the chilled bowl with your lettuce. Arrange cucumber slices, halved cherry or grape tomatoes, blanched asparagus spears (approx. 6-8 spears per serving), and sliced black olives artfully on top of the lettuce.
  5. **Add Shrimp:** Gently place cooked shrimp (approximately 10-12 large shrimp per serving) over the vegetables.
  6. **Serve:** Serve immediately with your favorite creamy Louie dressing on the side, allowing each diner to customize their serving.
  7. **Louie Dressing (Optional):** [Insert your favorite creamy Louie dressing recipe here, or use a store-bought version.]
