Preparing the Shrimp

Begin by seasoning your shrimp with a bit of salt and pepper. Heat a tablespoon of your chosen cooking fat in a pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shrimp and cook until they are pink and opaque, usually about 2-3 minutes per side. Set aside to cool.

Assembling the Salad

In a large bowl, combine the romaine lettuce, possibly other leafy greens or mixed salad leaves, and Parmesan cheese shavings. Once the shrimp has cooled, add it to the salad. For a zesty kick, squeeze a fresh lemon wedge over the salad and toss everything gently to combine.
