Method
 

  1. In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, creme fraiche, lemon juice, cider vinegar, brown sugar, paprika, salt, cayenne pepper, Worcestershire sauce, green onion, and parsley. Whisk together until well combined. Chill in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours.
  2. Just before grilling, drizzle olive oil and lemon juice over the shrimp. Sprinkle with salt and smoked paprika, then toss until coated.
  3. Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  4. Grill the shrimp over hot coals for about 2 minutes per side, until pink and opaque. Transfer to a dish and refrigerate for about 30 minutes until chilled.
  5. Divide chopped romaine lettuce among serving bowls. Top with cherry tomatoes, avocado slices, and hard-boiled egg halves. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Ladle 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the dressing over the vegetables, then add the shrimp and sliced green onions on top. Drizzle more dressing over the shrimp if desired.

Notes

The dressing can be made ahead of time, and the excess can be used for other salads. Leaving the tails on the shrimp enhances their flavor during grilling.
