Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Cut the romaine lettuce in half lengthwise and brush the cut sides with olive oil.

Season the lettuce halves with salt and black pepper.

Place the romaine halves cut side down on the grill.

Grill for 2-3 minutes until charred and slightly wilted.

Remove the romaine from the grill and let cool slightly.

In a bowl, whisk together lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and egg yolk.

Slowly drizzle in olive oil while whisking to create a creamy dressing.

Add anchovy fillets and minced garlic to the dressing, whisking to combine.

Toss the grilled romaine with the dressing until well coated.

Top with croutons and shaved parmesan cheese before serving.
