Step 1

Fill a medium bowl with iced water.

Step 2

In a saucepot, bring 4 cups of water and the bay leaf to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat to a simmer. Add the garlic powder, a few teaspoons of salt and the shrimp and simmer until pink, about 2 minutes. Drain and transfer the cooked shrimp to the bowl of ice water to cool. Drain and refrigerate, unless you are planning to serve right away.

Step 3

Meanwhile, make the dressing: in a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir in the green onions.

Step 4

To serve: Bring shrimp to room temperature, 10 to 15 minutes. Distribute the spinach among individual dinner plates. Divide the egg quarters, and avocado slices among the salads. Salt lightly. Add the shrimp, then dollop each salad with dressing. Finish with the olives and reserved green onion tops. Serve.
