It’s a simple salad disguised as restaurant quality. It will have you wiping your entire bowl clean.

Rustic Spinach and Shrimp Salad

This incredible salad comes directly from the hubby — but I have to warn you: he doesn’t use measuring cups. So when I asked him to measure how much spinach or walnuts he used, he looked at me like I had ten heads.

Below is a recipe for one serving, but don’t be greedy. This is a recipe to be doubled, tripled and shared.

big handful of fresh spinach

1 tablespoon of chopped walnuts

1 tablespoon of dried cranberries

light Italian salad dressing or olive oil and vinegar

salt and pepper

shaved/grated pecorino romano or crumbled feta

For the Shrimp:

6 shrimp, tail-on (cleaned)

1 tablespoon of olive oil

salt and pepper

pinch of dried oregano

Instructions

Place a big handful of spinach in a salad bowl. Top with walnuts and dried cranberries.

In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil and add one pinch of salt, pepper and oregano. Mix well until coated evenly.

Add the shrimp to a large pan (including the olive oil mixture) and cook until lightly charred. You may use a grill (if you have one) to cook the shrimp in there.

Lightly dress the salad with Italian dressing or olive oil and vinegar (tip: go light on the dressing!). Add another pinch of salt and pepper.

Top the salad with the shrimp, followed by the shaved pecorino romano.

Garnish with a wedge of pecorino romano and serve.
