Lite Caesar Salad with Sauteed Shrimp

This is SUCH a good way to dress up a simple caesar salad. Yes, I was lazy and used bagged salad. But, the shrimp were so good and way better than the ever so common grilled chicken that's added to caesar salads. And might I add it took about 5 minutes total to make this. You can't beat that! Garlic bread sticks would pair good with this too, I just didn't have any on hand.

Recipe:
1 bag lite caesar salad mix
1/2 pound raw shrimp (I used 26/30 count)
3 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp minced garlic
1 Tbsp olive oil
salt
pepper
paprika
parmesan cheese

Mix greens, dressing and croutons together in a bowl. Heat oil in skillet with minced garlic. Add lemon juice and shrimp. Saute for a few minutes until they are just opaque. Season with salt, pepper and paprika. When shrimp are done, add to salad. Top with parmesan cheese to tasta.
