  1. Bring a medium pot of water to a rolling boil. Carefully lower in 4 eggs and boil for 9 to 10 minutes. Transfer the eggs to an ice bath to stop cooking, peel them after 5 minutes, and set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, capers, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and Tabasco sauce. Mix until smooth and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Pat shrimp dry, toss with avocado oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, Tabasco sauce, and salt. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink.
  4. On a serving platter, layer romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, avocado slices, halved hard-boiled eggs, and cooked shrimp. Drizzle with dressing and serve immediately.
