• 1 bag (7 ounces) lettuce, mixed greens
• 1-1/4 pounds shrimp, raw (medium or large), peeled and deveined

• Put eggs under cold water to cool; add ice cubes to chill them even faster. 

3) Prepare the shrimp while preparing the eggs: 

• Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel (sprinkle lightly with paprika if desired for extra color).
• Heat a large skillet over medium high heat.
• Add oil and cook the shrimp for 1 to 2 minutes on each side until just pink
