Shrimp Scampi Salad

We were looking for a light dinner, and we had frozen shrimp. Mom suggested a shrimp salad, and I interpreted that to mean a Shrimp Scampi Salad.

Ingredients:

• 8 ounces shrimp
• 2 cups baby spinach or romaine lettuce, torn
• diced tomatoes (1/2 cup or so diced tomatoes)
• diced bell peppers (1/2 cup or so)
• diced carrots (1/2 cup or so)
• 1 ounce parmesan shavings
      
• 1.5 Tablespoons olive oil
• 2 Tablespoons butter
• 1 Tablespoons grated shallots
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 2 Tablespoons white wine
• 1/8 tsp kosher salt
• pinch red pepper flakes
• dash of pepper
      
• 1 cup of large seasoned croutons

Instructions:

1. Mix up greens and veggies for salad.
2. Melt butter and oil in 10" saute pan, cook shallots for 2 minutes.
3. Add garlic, and cook for 30 seconds.
4. Add lemon juice, white wine, and spices
5. Add shrimp, and cook for 3 or so minutes until shrimp are firm
6. Mix shrimp and juices with salad, spoon onto two plates or bowls
7. Grate or shave parmesan over each salad
8. Sprinkle half the croutons on each salad, and serve.

Carole's Notes:

We liked this! Instead of croutons, I might serve this with garlic bread next time, so we can better soak up the sauce.
