This may not be a Classical Salade Nicoise, but my Nicoise Salad with Grilled Shrimp is sure to please! When food looks as good as it tastes, life is good. And it’s healthy too!
Season shrimp with old bay and olive oil, then place on a hot grill. Grill on each side for 1-2 minutes. Allow shrimp to completely cool, then peel and devein.
Wash romaine, dry leaves with paper towels and chop into bite-sized pieces. Slice tomatoes into wedges and toss with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, chopped basil, and sea salt (all to taste).
Place eggs in cold water and bring to a boil. Allow eggs to boil for 2 minutes then remove from the heat and allow them to sit in the hot water to finish cooking for 20 minutes.
Boil potatoes until they are just tender, rinse in cold water and allow to cool. Slice potatoes in half and add olive oil sea salt, black pepper and fresh chopped Italian parsley.
