This is so easy and refreshing! It can be eaten at lunch or for a light dinner. Here is what you need for two salad plates:

1/2 pound peeled, deveined shrimp
2 garlic cloves, minced
Olive oil
1 heart Romaine lettuce, coarsely chopped
12 grape tomatoes, washed
1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
8 Kalamata olives, pitted and quartered

Heat a skillet with olive oil. Add the shrimp and the garlic. Season generously with black pepper. Cook for four to five minutes, flipping occasionally, until shrimp turns pink. Remove from heat.
