Para la mezcla cajún

  • 1 tbsp paprika

  • ½ tsp dry thyme
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
  • tsp ground black pepper
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder

For the salad

  • 150 g sliced pancetta or bacon
  • 500 g raw shrimp, peeled and deveined + salt and 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 100 g cook corn kernels
  • 4 eggs
  • 250 g iceberg lettuce
  • 1 avocado cubed

For the dressing

  • 100 g mayonnaise it can be light
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ lemon juice only
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp dry oregano
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard

Instructions

For the cajun mix

  • Mix all the ingredients and you're done! I usually do 4 recipes in one go and store what I don't use for later.

For the salad

  • Place the pancetta slices on a pan over medium-low heat. It will start to render its fat and become golden. Once golden, remove it from the pan and place it on kitchen paper. Once cold, chop it up.
  • Mix the shrimp with the olive oil, salt and cajun mix. Preheat a non-stick pan to medium heat and cook the shrimp approximately 2 minutes per side. Remove them and wait for them to cool down.
  • For the hardboiled eggs, place them in a pot with cold water (it doesn't matter if your eggs were in the fridge or not). Place the pot over high heat and time 8 minutes from the moment it starts to boil. Remove them and place them in a bowl with cold water to stop the cooking process. Then peel them and cut each egg in 8.
  • Chop up the lettuce and place it at the bottom of the bowl. On top arrange the avocado, shrimp, corn, pancetta and eggs.

For the dressing

  • Use a whisk to mix the mayonnaise, mustard, orégano and olive oil.
  • Add the milk little by little and mix it in until you like the texture. Add salt and pepper to taste.
