Shrimp Cobb Salad

Shrimp Cobb Salad
Andrew Bui for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Liberty Fennell.

Recipe by Kristina Felix | Total time: 20 minutes

The best part of a good Cobb salad is that it’s not just a pile of dressed lettuce, it’s a full meal—which makes it ideal for a casual no-cook dinner. Here, frozen pre-cooked shrimp, which thaw in minutes, get tossed with creamy chunks of avocado, juicy cherry tomatoes and crumbled gorgonzola in a spicy-sweet serrano, honey and lime dressing that plays nicely with the brininess of the cheese. Serve it with crusty buttered bread if you have it, or warm tortillas to make cobb tacos tableside. Prefer less heat? Seeding the serrano will dull its kick, but remember, it's got precisely the kind of heat that cools you down on a steamy summer evening.
