Cooking Method
To hard boil eggs: Place eggs in a saucepan with cold water and add a pinch of salt. Make sure the water is covering the eggs by 1 inch. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, let boil for 2 minutes. Then shut off fire, cover and let stand for 10 minutes. Drain and run under cold water. Let cool. Then peel and halve them, lengthwise.
In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and minced garlic. Add shrimp and cook for two minutes on each side. Remove and chop each shrimp into thirds.
In a large salad bowl, combine lettuce greens, shrimp, cherry tomatoes, corn, bacon, avocado, hard boiled eggs and blue cheese. Toss to combine.
Add dressing just before serving.
