Instructions
Special equipment: eight 12-inch bamboo skewers
Soak eight 12-inch bamboo skewers in warm water, about 30 minutes.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Make the dressing: Pulse the lemon juice, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, anchovy paste and garlic in a food processor. Gradually add the olive oil with the food processor running. Stir the Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper.
Toss the shrimp with 2 tablespoons of the dressing and the bread cubes with another 2 tablespoons of the dressing. Thread the shrimp on 4 skewers and the bread cubes on 4 skewers. Top each skewer with a hot cherry pepper. Grill the bread cube skewers until toasted with grill marks, about 30 seconds to 1 minute per side.
Grill the shrimp skewers until the shrimp turn pink, turning once, 3 to 4 minutes.
Brush the romaine lightly with olive oil and grill until grill marks appear, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
Cut the lettuce crosswise into 1 1/2-inch-wide strips.
Toss the lettuce with 1/2 cup dressing and salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the shrimp and crouton skewers over the salad and the extra dressing drizzled on top.
Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc
Shrimp works really well with Pinot Grigio, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc. These crisp white wines work well with shrimp prepared in a variety of ways, whether grilled, fried, or in garlic sauce. The GIFFT by Kathie Lee Gifford Pinot Grigio with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 15 dollars per bottle.
