The Perfect Summer Caprese

Hello and Happy Wednesday to you!

Simple.

Fast.

Healthy.

Thoroughly enjoyable.

That is what today’s post is all about. No one want’s to be cooking dinner for long periods of time, especially in the summer. I’ve mentioned before that Skinny Taste by Gina Homolka is my very favorite line of cookbooks. I take this recipe from “Skinny Taste Simple”. It’s truly the most perfect lunch or dinner for any shrimp lover like myself. With only a few ingredients this dish comes together so quickly.

what you do:

In a bowl, season the shrimp with your seasoning. Add the shrimp to a medium skillet with a splash of oil and cook. This should only take 2-3 minutes.

Next assemble the salad by placing about one cup of whatever greens you decided on and layer tomato, cheese, and avocado. Add a small splash of olive oil to the salad and sprinkle with some salt of your choice. Then, drizzle with balsamic glaze, add your shrimp and enjoy!

p.s. adding fresh basil will not only make it a true caprese but elevate the dish.

If you’re in my neck of the woods then you know it’s been a very cold June and even though it technically isn’t summer yet this dish is perfect to kick it off in a few short(ish) days.

Have the best day! I hope it gets elevated in every possible way.
