Instructions
In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper to make the shrimp marinade.
Toss the shrimp with the marinade until well coated. Set aside for 10 minutes to marinate.
While the shrimp marinates, peel the tangerines and separate them into segments. Remove any seeds and set the segments aside.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, sliced avocado, cucumber, red onion, and tangerine segments.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, tangerine juice, honey, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper to make the dressing.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and are fully cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let cool slightly.
Add the cooked shrimp to the salad bowl with the other ingredients.
Drizzle the tangerine dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine.
