2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 avocado, diced

Instructions
 

Prepare the Shrimp: In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly and marinate for about 15 minutes.

    Grill the Shrimp: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers or place them directly on the grill. Grill the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes per side until they are pink and opaque. Remove from the grill and set aside.

      Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined.

        Prepare the Salad Base: In a large serving bowl, layer the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, avocado, crumbled bacon, blue cheese, and diced hard-boiled eggs.

          Add the Grilled Shrimp: Place the grilled shrimp on top of the salad mixture.

            Dress the Salad: Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving. Toss gently to combine, making sure all the ingredients are evenly coated.

              Serve: Serve the salad immediately, garnishing with additional blue cheese and freshly cracked pepper if desired. Enjoy your refreshing Grilled Shrimp Cobb Salad!
