Spicy Shrimp & Sauteed Green Beans Salad

Spicy Shrimp with Sautéed Green Beans and a Mixed Greens Salad 


Healthy and hearty shrimp salad! This recipe came out light, but very satisfying, especially for a salad. The shrimp are super seasoned with cayenne pepper and ground paprika for a little kick and the green beans came out crunchy and packed with flavor. I love to pair seafood with lots of citrus, so I used lemon juice in the preparation of the shrimp along with in the dressing.
