I don’t know about you but here in Phoenix the last thing I want to do is turn on a hot oven during dinnertime. We’ve been enjoying several delicious salads and Shrimp Louie is one of our favorites. You begin by layering a large platter with washed and dried crisp lettuce. I like the butter variety for this salad. In the center place a generous mound of delicious cooked shrimp.
