The Shrimp Caesar Salad is a delightful twist on the classic Caesar salad, featuring succulent shrimp as the star ingredient. This dish has a rich history, with its origins tracing back to the renowned Italian chef, Caesar Cardini, who created the original Caesar salad in Tijuana, Mexico in the 1920s. Over the years, chefs and restaurants around the world have put their own spin on this beloved dish, incorporating fresh shrimp to add a delightful seafood element. Today, the best versions of Shrimp Caesar Salad can be found in coastal regions renowned for their fresh seafood, such as the Pacific Northwest or the Mediterranean.
