Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using 16 oz. shrimp, follow same instructions as 8 oz., working in batches if necessary. 

  • If using antibiotic free chicken breasts, pat dry. Cook until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes per side.

  • If using salmon, pat dry. Add salmon, skin-side up first, and cook until salmon reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes per side.

  1. 1

    Make the Croutons

    Cut buns into 1/4" diced croutons.

    Mince garlic.

    Place croutons on prepared baking sheet and toss with garlic, half the garlic salt (reserve remaining for salad), and 2 Tbsp. olive oil. Top evenly with half the cheese (reserve remaining for garnish). Spread into an even layer.

    Bake in hot oven until golden-brown and toasted, 8-10 minutes.

    While croutons bake, continue recipe.

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Hold romaine heart at root end and chop coarsely.

    Core tomato and cut into 1/2" dice.

  3. 3

    Cook the Shrimp

    Line a plate with a paper towel.

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add shrimp to hot pan and cook until pink and shrimp reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 2-3 minutes per side.

    Remove from burner. Transfer shrimp to towel-lined plate.
