Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/2 cup whole wheat bread crumbs

Zest and juice of 2 lemons

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 pound raw peeled shrimp, fresh or thawed if frozen

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

4 cups mixed greens (kale, romaine, spinach)

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon mayonnaise

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Method

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a bowl, mix the bread crumbs with half of the lemon zest, salt, and pepper.

Spread the bread crumb mixture on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 5 minutes or until golden brown. Set aside to cool.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add half of the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add the shrimp to the skillet, sprinkle with parsley, crushed red pepper flakes, and the remaining lemon zest. Cook until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes.

In a large bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, remaining garlic, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.

Toss the mixed greens in the dressing until well coated.

Divide the dressed greens among plates, top with the cooked shrimp, and sprinkle with toasted bread crumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
