Let cool. To assemble salads, toss lettuce with just enough dre ssing and cheese to coat the leaves. Top each salad with equal amounts of shrimp, croutons and a sprinkling of parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.

Make the dressing by mixing the salt, pepper, garlic, anchovies and Dijon mustard into a paste in a small bowl. Add the lemon juice and the Worcestershire sauce to the paste; mix well. Slowly whisk in the oil until smooth and creamy. Season to taste. Set aside. The dressing will keep in a jar in the refrigerator for 2 weeks.
