Cooking Time: 5-6 minutesPreperation Time: 15-30 minutes

Marinate the Shrimp

Begin by cleaning the shrimp. In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Add the shrimp to the bowl, ensuring they are well-coated with the marinade. Leave to marinate for 15-30 minutes in the refrigerator.

Prepare the Salad Base

While the shrimp marinates, prepare your salad base. Wash and dry the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and fresh herbs. Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and roughly chop the herbs. In a large salad bowl, toss together the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and herbs.

Cook the Shrimp

Heat a pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated shrimp. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Assemble the Salad

Add the cooked shrimp to the salad base. Drizzle with a mixture of olive oil and lemon juice or vinegar, then toss gently to combine. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
