Ingredients

Salt and pepper

1/2 pound large or jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails left on)

1/2 loaf rustic bread, crusts removed, cut into 3/4-inch cubes

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/4 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

3 to 4 teaspoons lemon juice

4 slices cooked bacon (4 ounces), crumbled

1 romaine lettuce heart, chopped

1 pint large cherry tomatoes, quartered or halved

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a medium pot of boiling salted water, cook shrimp until opaque throughout, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain, then transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate, cover, and chill until ready to serve. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss bread with oil. Bake until golden, about 8 minutes, tossing halfway through.

Stir together mayonnaise, chives, and lemon juice to taste; season with salt and pepper. Toss together shrimp, croutons, bacon, lettuce, and tomatoes and serve with dressing.
