Ingredients

For the Dressing

1 & 1/4 cups mayonnaise
2 & 1/2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard
1 tablespoon paprika (sweet or smoked)
1 tablespoon parsley , finely chopped
2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon Creole seasoning
1 teaspoon sweet pickle juice
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1 clove garlic , grated
couple turns of freshly cracked black pepper

For the Salad

6 cups chopped romaine lettuce (rinsed and dried)
1 pound shrimp , medium sized, cooked and chilled, tails OFF
4 large hard boiled eggs (quartered, sliced, or chopped)
1 ripe avocado (sliced or chopped)
1 cup grape or cherry tomatoes , halved
2 tablespoons chopped chives
kosher salt and freshly ground pepper , to taste

Instructions

Make the dressing: Place all ingredients into a jar with a tightfitting lid. Shake vigorously until well-blended and emulsified. Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more salt and pepper if necessary. (Alternatively, you can just whisk everything together in a bowl until incorporated and smooth.) Cover and place in the fridge until ready to use.
Assemble the salad: Divide lettuce evenly among 4 shallow bowls. Then top with rows of shrimp (in the middle), hard-boiled egg, avocado, and cherry tomatoes. Garnish with chopped chives and season with a bit of salt and pepper, to taste.
Drizzle some dressing over the salad just before serving and allow people to add more, if they like.
