Roast the Butternut Squash

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and cube the butternut squash, then spread the pieces on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and lightly caramelized.

Cook the Shrimp

While the squash is roasting, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil. Season the shrimp with salt, pepper, and a pinch of paprika. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and opaque. Set aside.

Prepare the Salad

In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, thinly sliced red onions, cherry tomatoes, and roasted butternut squash. Drizzle with your favorite vinaigrette and toss gently to coat.

Assemble and Serve

Top the salad with the cooked shrimp and garnish with some fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro. Serve immediately.
