Ingredients (15)

12 oz peeled shrimp from 24 oz whole shrimp
3 tbsp unsalted butter
2 tbsp garlic minced
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper divided
1/2 tsp pepper flake
1 tsp traditional Dijon mustard
1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp honey
4 oz crystal lettuce cut into bite-sized pieces
1 tbsp lemon juice
4 oz cucumber halved and sliced
4 oz cherry tomatoes halved
2 tbsp parsley finely chopped
3 1/2 cups cooked medium-grain rice

INSTRUCTIONS

In a bowl, stir together 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp mustard, 1/2 tsp honey, and 1/4 tsp pepper. Refrigerate both this dressing and the vegetables (crystal lettuce, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, all cut up into bite-sized pieces and weighing 4 oz each) until serving.

Melt 3 tbsp butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Saute 2 tbsp garlic (or more, to your liking) for about 30 seconds.

Add 12 oz peeled shrimp to the skillet along with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp ground black pepper.

Cook for about 6 minutes.

Turn off the heat and sprinkle on top 2 tbsp parsley and 1/2 tsp pepper flakes.

To serve, drizzle the dressing on top of the vegetables. Serve the salad along with the shrimp and 3 1/2 cups cooked rice.
