Recipe View 5 mins Ladle ¼ to ½ cup of the chilled Louie dressing over the vegetables in each bowl. Arrange the chilled grilled shrimp on top of the dressed vegetables. Garnish with sliced green onions. If desired, drizzle additional dressing over the shrimp. (Assembly time: 5 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider grilling the lemon halves alongside the shrimp. The caramelized lemon juice adds a wonderful citrusy note to the dressing.
If you don't have crème fraîche on hand, sour cream or Greek yogurt can be used as a substitute. The texture will be slightly different, but the flavor will still be delicious.
Feel free to customize the vegetables to your liking. Cucumber, bell peppers, or even grilled corn would be excellent additions to this salad.
The dressing can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
