Ingredients

• 1 lb Raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 5 tbsp Olive oil
• 3 tbsp Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 1.5 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.5 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 4 cups Arugula, fresh
• 1.5 cups Baby bella mushrooms, thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
• 1 tsp Honey
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp, minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, and the crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Toss to coat the shrimp evenly. Let marinate for 10 minutes while you prepare the salad ingredients.

Step 2

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. While it heats, toss the arugula and sliced mushrooms in a large serving bowl.

Step 3

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, honey, and Dijon mustard to create the lemon vinaigrette. Set aside.

Step 4

Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes beforehand). Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are opaque and slightly charred.

Step 5

Remove the shrimp from the grill and let them rest for a minute. Meanwhile, drizzle the lemon vinaigrette over the arugula and mushrooms, and toss to coat evenly.

Step 6

Divide the salad onto four plates and sprinkle with shredded Parmesan cheese. Top each salad with the grilled shrimp skewers.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy a delicious, healthy meal!
