Ginger Sesame Warm Shrimp Salad
serves 2

Ingredients:
2 dozen thawed raw shrimp
1/2 tbsp coconut oil
1" of raw ginger root minced
2 cloves of garlic
1/2 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp avocado
1 oz soft goat's cheese
1 red/yellow pepper sliced into bite-sized pieces
6 cups of mixed greens
wedge of lime * optional

1) Preheat frying pan at medium high heat. Add coconut oil.

2) Once oil is melted, add in ginger and garlic and sautee until browned (approx 5 minutes).
3) Add shrimp, and cook until pink all the way through (no longer see through).
4) Add in peppers and sautee for approximately 6-7 minutes.
5) In a large bowl, combine mixed greens with sesame oil and balsamic vingear and toss with tongs. **If you pre-toss your greens in your dressing, you will use way less and all of the mix will be well coated!
6) Divide the lettuce onto two plates.
7) Top each plate with half of shrimp mixture and the goat's cheese and avocado.
8) Drizzle some balsamic vinegar on top, or if you have some around, squeeze a slice of lime over the top for a fresh flavour!
