Romaine salad with shrimp is an exquisite dish of Italian cuisine that combines the freshness of greens and the tenderness of seafood. Its history begins in the traditions of Mediterranean gastronomy, where fresh salads with seafood are valued for their lightness and rich flavors. The crispy romaine lettuce, slightly caramelized in a pan, acquires a unique hue that harmoniously pairs with juicy shrimp. A spicy sauce made from chicken broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and spices adds complexity and depth to the dish's flavor. This salad is perfect for a light dinner or festive table, offering a pleasant combination of freshness, tenderness, and mild spiciness that makes each forkful a true delight.
