Shrimp Preparation

Salad Ingredients

Method

Shrimp Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine raw shrimp, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to coat the shrimp evenly. Let marinate for 15-20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and are fully cooked. Remove from heat and set aside.

Salad Assembly

  1. 3

    Prepare the Salad Base

    In a large salad bowl, combine mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, and red onion. Toss gently to mix the ingredients.

  2. 4

    Add Shrimp

    Once the shrimp are cooked, add them on top of the salad mixture.

  3. 5

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle balsamic vinaigrette over the salad and shrimp. Toss gently to combine all ingredients and ensure they are evenly coated with dressing.

  4. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately while the shrimp are warm, optionally garnished with additional feta cheese.
