    At the bottom of this screen, as well as any of the sections of Feednetwork.com, there is(far right a "Contact us". I think it's time we started letting them know we need them to PROOF READ their recipes. I am so frustrated with incomplete, inaccurate recipes and those that do not coincide with the demo on the TV show.

    I'm glad I looked up the recipe right away and forgot to close the tab!

    Here is the full recipe info:

    Salad:
    ? 1 head romaine lettuce, trimmed and halved lengthwise
    ? 1 ear corn, husk and silk removed
    ? 2 zucchini, halved lengthwise
    ? 6 colossal or 12 extra-large shrimp, peeled and deveined
    ? Olive oil, for drizzling
    ? Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
    ? 1/2 head butter lettuce, torn
    ? 2 medium tomatoes, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
    ? 1 avocado, halved, pitted, peeled and diced
    Dressing:
    ? 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
    ? 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    ? 1 1/2 tablespoons agave nectar or honey
    ? Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

    2 cups store-bought tortilla strips (recommended: Mission Restaurant Style

    For the salad: Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. In a large bowl add the romaine lettuce, corn, zucchini, and shrimp and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Grill the romaine lettuce, turning occasionally, until crisp-tender and browned in spots, about 2 minutes. Coarsely chop the grilled lettuce and add it to a large salad bowl. Grill the corn and zucchini for 2 minutes on all sides until crisp-tender. Remove the kernels from the corn and add to the salad bowl. Chop the zucchini into 1/2-inch pieces and add to the bowl. Grill the shrimp until the meat is opaque and cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Cool slightly and cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Add the chopped shrimp, butter lettuce, tomatoes, and avocado to the bowl.

    For the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil and agave nectar until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

    Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until all the ingredients are coated. Garnish the salad with tortilla strips and serve.

    This salad is increible!. I can't believe I made something this delicious at home. It was fun and easy to make and totally delicious. Each bite is different and full of flavor. The grilled romaine is wonderul. I went back and watched the episode to get the dressing recipe. Thanks Giada!

    Foodnetwork.com are you listening??? I picked up the veggies and shrimp an hour ago, went back into the recipe on this site and low and behold it only lists incredients for the salad, but not the dressing or the grill instructions. This has happened to me several times before and the site slows and freezes a lot. Please FN....fix this...I am hungry!

    This site has more problems than Lindsey Lohan.

    Made this tonight after seeing episode yesterday. It was nice and light and refreshing! I especially liked the dressing! It is a great light dressing that can be used for many things. Thanks Giada!

    I just happened to watch this episode yesterday and had all of the ingredients except for the butter lettuce. Didn't dare tell the husband what I was making, because he is not a big salad eater. This was really quick and easy to make. Plus the best part was that the husband loved it as did I! I was unsure what to think of grilled romaine, but it was delicious. Can't wait to share this recipe with the girlfriends!
