Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, 1 tablespoon olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the lemon glaze.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for about 2 minutes per side, until they turn pink and are opaque.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the lemon glaze over the shrimp. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly and let them cook for 1 additional minute. Remove the skillet from heat.
In a large salad bowl, combine mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, diced avocado, and red onion.
Top the salad with lemon-glazed shrimp, crumbled feta cheese, and fresh parsley.
