Grate the potatoes and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel.
Season the grated potatoes with a pinch of salt and pepper.
In a skillet over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and press the grated potatoes into small pancake-like nests (about 4 inches in diameter). Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Set aside on a plate lined with paper towels.
Season the shrimp with salt, pepper, and paprika.
In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of butter and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Deglaze the skillet with white wine, scraping up browned bits. Cook for 2-3 minutes until reduced by half.
Lower the heat and stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and lemon juice. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Return the shrimp to the skillet, stirring to coat them in the ragu sauce. Sprinkle with fresh parsley.
To assemble, place the potato nests on plates, top each nest with salad greens, and spoon the shrimp ragu over the top.
Serve warm and enjoy!
