Instructions
- Special equipment: eight 12-inch bamboo skewers
- Soak eight 12-inch bamboo skewers in warm water, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Make the dressing: Pulse the lemon juice, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, anchovy paste and garlic in a food processor. Gradually add the olive oil with the food processor running. Stir the Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper.
- Toss the shrimp with 2 tablespoons of the dressing and the bread cubes with another 2 tablespoons of the dressing. Thread the shrimp on 4 skewers and the bread cubes on 4 skewers. Top each skewer with a hot cherry pepper. Grill the bread cube skewers until toasted with grill marks, about 30 seconds to 1 minute per side. Remove from the grill.
- Grill the shrimp skewers until the shrimp turn pink, turning once, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Brush the romaine lightly with olive oil and grill until grill marks appear, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Cut the lettuce crosswise into 1 1/2-inch-wide strips.
- Toss the lettuce with 1/2 cup dressing and salt and pepper to taste. Serve the shrimp and crouton skewers over the salad and the extra dressing drizzled on top.
