- 12 large Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 4 cups Baby greens (spinach, arugula, or mixed)

Instructions
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Season the shrimp with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper. Cook the shrimp in the hot skillet for about 2 minutes per side or until they turn pink and are fully cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Prepare the walnut raspberry dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons raspberry vinegar, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and 1 teaspoon honey. Slowly drizzle in 3 tablespoons walnut oil or extra virgin olive oil while whisking continuously to emulsify. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
In a large salad bowl, combine 4 cups of baby greens, 1/2 cup fresh raspberries, and 1/4 cup toasted walnuts.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat the greens.
Divide the dressed salad onto two plates. Arrange the cooked shrimp on top of each portion.
If desired, sprinkle with 1/4 cup of crumbled goat cheese for added creaminess and flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy this vibrant, flavorful salad!
