The contrasting textures of the warm ingredients on top of cool, crisp greens are so satisfying. This shrimp scampi salad is one of those recipes, with juicy shrimp sauteed in butter, garlic and parsley and piled on a spinach salad.<\/p>\n<p>Besides being nutritious, this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/seafood-salads-we-love\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/seafood-salads-we-love\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">seafood-topped salad<\/a> is a speedy meal for busy nights. The shrimp take less than five minutes to cook, and there\u2019s no salad dressing to mix up. The scampi sauce coats the spinach and infuses the whole salad with the mouthwatering combination of garlic and butter. All you need to finish the salad is a squeeze of fresh lemon for a bit of acidity.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Shrimp Scampi Salad<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Butter:<\/strong> You can use salted or unsalted butter, but we recommend going with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-butter-taste-test\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-butter-taste-test\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">best-tasting butter<\/a> you can find. The shrimp scampi contains just four ingredients, so it\u2019ll make a difference!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shrimp:<\/strong> You\u2019ll need 1 pound of uncooked medium shrimp (31-40 per pound). You can use fresh or frozen shrimp. Peeled and deveined shrimp costs more than shell-on shrimp, but will cut down on prep time. Either way, I recommend pulling off the tails before cooking the shrimp for ease of serving.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Garlic:<\/strong> A quick saute mellows the sharpness of the raw garlic and infuses the butter with savory, aromatic flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Parsley:<\/strong> Chopped parsley adds freshness, and the herbal notes enhance the flavor of the shrimp and garlic. Choose flat-leaf parsley for the best flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Spinach:<\/strong> We\u2019re using fresh baby spinach to build our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/spinach-salads\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/spinach-salads\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">spinach salad base<\/a>. Baby spinach tastes milder than bundled spinach, and the smaller leaves don\u2019t require chopping.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cherry tomatoes:<\/strong> For extra visual interest, use a package of vibrant heirloom <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/cherry-tomato-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/cherry-tomato-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">cherry tomatoes.<\/a>\u00a0Be sure to slice the tomatoes in half so they\u2019re easier to eat.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lemon halves:<\/strong> We top this salad with all of the savory garlic butter, so there\u2019s no need for salad dressing. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice helps balance the earthiness of the spinach and the richness of the shrimp. Serve the salad with extra lemon halves or wedges so guests can add as much citrus as they like.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Almonds:<\/strong> Sliced almonds add a pleasant crunch to the salad. To bring out their nutty flavor, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-toast-nuts\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-toast-nuts\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">toast nuts<\/a> in a skillet over low heat until they&#8217;re lightly browned and fragrant.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Parmesan:<\/strong> Finishing the salad with shredded Parmesan is optional but highly recommended. The cheese starts to melt as soon as it hits the warm shrimp and infuses the salad with its salty, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-umami-plus-why-you-should-definitely-have-it-on-your-plate\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-umami-plus-why-you-should-definitely-have-it-on-your-plate\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">umami flavor<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Cook the shrimp<\/h3>\n<p>In a large skillet, heat the butter over medium heat. Add the shrimp and garlic and saute them until the shrimp turn pink, three to four minutes. Stir in the parsley and remove the skillet from the heat.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> To ensure the shrimp is evenly cooked, flip it halfway so it cooks for one to two minutes per side.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Assemble the salad<\/h3>\n<p>Build the salad by arranging the spinach and tomatoes on a platter or large serving dish. Add the shrimp and garlic butter. Squeeze lemon juice over the salad and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the salad with almonds and Parmesan, if desired. Serve immediately.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2127201\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Shrimp-Scampi-Salad_FT25_100058_JR_0228_3.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Shrimp Scampi Salad in a white plate with a fork \" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">JOSH RINK FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Shrimp Scampi Salad Variations<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Change the greens:<\/strong> Use chopped romaine, tender butter lettuce or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/mixed-greens-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/mixed-greens-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">mixed salad greens<\/a> as the base of the salad instead of spinach.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add more salad toppings:<\/strong> Add blanched green beans, chopped bell peppers or croutons for crunch.

To keep the veggies fresh, store the shrimp scampi and dry spinach salad (without lemon juice) in separate containers in the fridge. The garlic butter will solidify in the refrigerator, but melt again when reheated.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you make this shrimp scampi salad ahead of time?<\/h3>\n<p>You can assemble the spinach salad a few hours in advance, covering and refrigerating it until you\u2019re ready to cook the shrimp. To prevent wilting, wait to dress the greens with lemon juice until just before serving. For the best flavor and texture, we recommend cooking the shrimp just before serving.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you reheat the shrimp for this salad?<\/h3>\n<p>You can reheat the scampi-style shrimp in the microwave or in a skillet on the stovetop. If overheated, shrimp can quickly turn from juicy and tender to tough and rubbery, so use 50% power in the microwave or medium-low heat on the stovetop. Watch the shrimp closely and heat them until the butter melts and the shrimp are warmed.<\/p>\n<h2>Shrimp Scampi Salad Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2127200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Shrimp-Scampi-Salad_FT25_100058_JR_0228_2.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Shrimp Scampi Salad close up shot\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">JOSH RINK FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Is shrimp scampi salad healthy?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, this dish is a nutrient-dense choice.
