How to Make Lemon Garlic Shrimp With Greens

  1. Prepare the shrimp: Pat shrimp dry with paper towels.
  2. Wrap each shrimp with a thin strip of prosciutto.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and opaque.
  5. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes; cook for 30 seconds.
  6. Stir in white wine and lemon juice. Cook until liquid is almost evaporated (about 1 minute).
  7. Remove from heat and stir in lemon zest, parsley, and paprika.
  8. Transfer shrimp to a bowl. Refrigerate uncovered for at least 30 minutes to chill thoroughly. (Cover and refrigerate if chilling for longer).
  9. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together shallot, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  10. Slowly drizzle in olive oil while whisking constantly until emulsified.
  11. Toss mixed greens with the dressing.
  12. Arrange salad on plates. Arrange chilled shrimp in a circular fan on top.
  13. Garnish with thin shavings of Manchego cheese, parsley sprigs, and cracked black pepper.
