Satisfying, fast-cooking shrimp are the ultimate weeknight salad topper.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 stalks celery, thinly sliced, plus 3 tablespoons
  • chopped celery leaves

  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1 1/2 limes

  • 1 5-ounce package baby kale salad mix (about 8 cups)

Directions

  1. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium high.
  2. Make the dressing. Combine the mayonnaise, celery leaves, 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, 1 tablespoon water, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Grate in the zest of 1 lime and squeeze in the juice.
