Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 6 cups Mixed salad greens
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1 medium Cucumber (sliced)
- 0.5 small Red onion (thinly sliced)
- 0.25 cup Feta cheese (crumbled)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, honey, Dijon mustard, fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the raw shrimp into a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish, and pour the marinade over the shrimp. Seal or cover, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the shrimp from the marinade (reserving the marinade) and cook the shrimp in the skillet for 2–3 minutes per side, or until pink and fully cooked. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, red onion, and crumbled feta cheese.
Top the salad with the cooked shrimp.
Optional: Drizzle the reserved marinade over the salad as a dressing, or serve with your favorite vinaigrette on the side.
Toss gently to combine before serving and enjoy your Marinated Shrimp Salad!
