Ingredients

For the Green Goddess Dressing:

1 ½ cups buttermilk
1 avocado plus half of another, cubed
1 bunch scallions white and light green parts only, chopped
¼ cup parsley roughly chopped
2 tablespoons Tarragon or White Wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
½ teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
Generous pinch of black pepper

For the Salad:

1 lb Extra Jumbo 16/20's Wild-Caught Shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 ½ tablespoon olive oil
¾ teaspoon Kosher salt
Generous pinch black pepper
4 Vine-Ripened tomatoes
2 heads Romaine lettuce rinsed, dried and chopped

Instructions

Dessing:

Add ingredients to a blender and process until smooth.

Salad:

Preheat the oven to 400° and have ready a large rimmed baking sheet (possibly two), lined with nonstick aluminum foil.
Place shrimp in the baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper. Toss until evenly coated with oil and seasoning and spread apart so that there is at least a small amount of space between each shrimp. If not, transfer half of the shrimp to the second baking sheet.
Bake for 10 minutes, or until the shrimp is pink in color and slightly firm to the touch. Set aside until ready to use.
Slice off the top of the tomatoes about a ¼" from the stem, and cut in half. Have ready a small bowl, turn over the tomatoes and gently squeeze the seeds into the bowl. Discard of the seeds. Cut each tomato half into ½" slices, crosswise.
Place lettuce atop plates or serving platter, top with tomatoes and shrimp, and drizzle with Green Goddess dressing. Season to taste with salt and black pepper, serve and enjoy.

Notes

If the avocado green goddess dressing is thicker than you'd like, simply add 1 tablespoon of water and stir until blended. Continue to do this until the dressing reaches desired consistency.
