Ingredients
  

1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

2 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp sea salt

½ tsp freshly ground black pepper

6 cups mixed salad greens (a blend of spinach, arugula, and romaine)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 ripe avocado, diced

½ cup blue cheese, crumbled

4 slices crispy cooked bacon, crumbled

2 hard-boiled eggs, sliced

¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced

¼ cup balsamic vinaigrette

Instructions
 

Marinate the Shrimp: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shrimp with the olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss the shrimp until they are evenly coated with the marinade. Let them marinate for approximately 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

    Preheat the Grill: While the shrimp are marinating, heat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. If you’re using an outdoor grill, make sure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent the shrimp from sticking.

      Grill the Shrimp: Once the grill is thoroughly heated, lay the marinated shrimp directly on the grill grate. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Carefully remove the shrimp from the grill and set them aside on a plate.

        Assemble the Salad: In a large serving bowl or platter, begin with a generous bed of mixed salad greens. Artfully arrange the grilled shrimp over the greens, followed by the halved cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, crumbled blue cheese, crispy bacon, sliced hard-boiled eggs, and scattered red onion.

          Dress the Salad: Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette evenly over the assembled salad. You can either gently toss the salad to combine all the ingredients or leave it beautifully arranged for an eye-catching presentation.

            Serve: Indulge in your vibrant grilled shrimp Cobb salad immediately, enjoying the delightful contrast of warm shrimp against the cool, fresh ingredients!
