Ingredients

2 cups shrimp
2 cups baby spinach
1 cup cucumber (diced)
1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
½ cup black olives (pitted and sliced)
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoon dried basil
2 garlic cloves (minced)
3 tablespoon butter
to taste salt and pepper
to taste olive oil

Instructions

Preheat broiler.
When its’s ready, arrange the cherry tomatoes on a small baking tray and drizzle with olive oil and a sprinkle of salt. Slide under the broiler for about 8 minutes - just check on them to ensure they don’t burn.
While the tomatoes roast, heat up a pan to a medium heat. Melt the butter, add a little bit of oil and then add the garlic and basil.
Once the butter start foaming, add the shrimp and cook until the tails turn bright red, about 2-3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Squeeze the lemon juice into the pan and toss.
Layer all the other ingredients into a salad bowl, ending with the shrimp.
Lastly, take the delicious juices left in the pan and pour over the salad.
Toss the salad before serving to spread the dressing evenly.
