Shrimp Cobb Salad Board Recipe
A light, filling salad board, loaded with Cobb salad ingredients such as shrimp, bacon, and avocado, with your favorite dressing.
Delicious and satisfying, try this twist on the original Cobb salad, with shrimp! Or, maybe you’ve tried my Southern Cobb Salad with Sweet Onion Dressing (the dressing is soooo good!)
Shrimp Cobb Salad Board Recipe
Maybe you’ve already indulged in our Chicken Cobb Salad, or Vegan Cobb. Either way, your family will love this Shrimp Cobb Salad Board “bar” idea today.
An epic salad board hits all the right notes for being fresh, healthy, and perfect for summer hosting.
A Cobb salad isn’t complete without bacon and avocado, in my humble opinion, but take it a step further and add jammy eggs, black ollives, and red onion.
Why serve a salad board?
Salad boards are casual and fun, with all ingredients on one big board. Sort of like a “build your own salad bar.”
You can prep the ingredients the day before, and assemble right before the guests come! Easy!
Also feel free to swap out the shrimp for diced chicken or ham, and trying crumbled feta instead of Roguefort cheese.
Summer breeze—eating outside
Eating outside is easy when dinner is on one board. For us, we carry it down to our bottom deck with a stack of dishes, napkins, and forks. Now if all salads were like this, I’d have no problem eating one of these every single day! :)
Ingredients for Shrimp Cobb Salad
This salad is loaded with tons of goodies, and you can always toss the shrimp in your favorite seasoning, and lightly grill before serving!
- Large shrimp
- Hard boiled eggs
- Avocado
- Black olives
- Red bell pepper
- Green bell pepper
- Mushrooms
- Radishes

What dressing do you serve with a Cobb?
Everyone tosses their own salad in their bowl, with your favorite dressing. We love our BEST Thousand Island Dressing (make ahead and chill in the fridge).
You may want something light and fresh, so feel free to make your own vinaigrette. You want flavors that will complement the other ingredients.
For that final touch of WOW – make our perfect “jammy” soft-boiled eggs to add to the Cobb salad board.
