Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Place warm water in a container (we use a metal bowl) and place shrimp into water. Change water a few times and let sit until defrosted. Pull tails off, and put the shrimp on paper towels to dry. **Drying the shrimp helps keep it from splattering all over the place when you place it in oil in the pan**.
  2. In a dry pan (no oil in it) heat on medium-high.
  3. Place sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, and 1 Tbsp of the Emeril's Cajun spice seasoning in the pan. Toast all 3 ingredients until lightly browned, watching and stirring so they don't burn (approx. 5 minutes). When sesame seeds are brown you're done, sunflower seeds won't turn color.
  4. Take the toasted sunflower and sesame seed mixture and place on a paper plate.
  5. Add sesame oil to pan (medium high). Cook about 1 minute, until hot .
  6. Sweat onions (cook til clear) in oil approximately 2-3 min (still on med high).
  7. Add shrimp to above. Cook another 1-2 minutes.
  8. Add 3/4 cup of sunflower and sesame seed mixture (save the rest for top of salad). Stir until hot.
  9. Add last Tbsp of Emeril's Cajun seasoning and stir/cook for 1-2 minutes. Take off heat.
  10. Pour lettuce into stainless steel bowl (or any bowl you desire). Spray NO fat olive oil spray onto lettuce (we use toasted sesame oil) and toss lettuce.
  11. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  12. Put lettuce on serving dishes, add shrimp mixture and a pinch or two of remainder of the sunflower and sesame seed mixture. Optional: A squeeze of lemon.
  13. ENJOY.
