Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. • Trim green beans. Quarter lemon. • Drizzle oil in a hot pan. Add green beans, garlic powder, salt, and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender, 4-6 minutes. TIP: While green beans cook, you can start prepping the salad in Step 3. • Turn off heat; transfer green beans to a plate. (TIP: Cover with foil to keep warm.) Wipe out pan.
• Rinse shrimp* under cold water; pat dry with paper towels. • Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for green beans. Add shrimp; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until opaque and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. • Stir in smoky garlic herb sauce until warmed through, 30-60 seconds.
• In a bowl, toss mixed greens, tomatoes, and carrots with a large drizzle of olive oil, juice from two lemon wedges (four wedges for 4), and as much vinaigrette as you like.
• Divide shrimp, salad, and green beans between plates. Top green beans with crispy fried onions. • Garnish salad with croutons (crush croutons in the bag with your hands right before serving). Serve with remaining lemon wedges.
Shrimp is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.

One of the best current HelloFresh meals-this is one where I finally feel like I'm getting enough veggies! The garlic and herb sauce for the shrimp is super tasty, too.
Garlic Shrimp was very easy to make and tasted great.

This was delicious. Garlic sauce was amazing. Greatly appreciated the abundance of vegetables and how easy/quick the cooking was.
Loved this! Easy to fix and tasty. There was enough to eat for another meal. I put the shrimp and green beans in the salad. YUM!
Very easy to prepare! Super fresh and the flavors were delicious! Portions sizes were perfect- we all were well fed!
Loved the variety of veggies. Both the salad dressing and the shrimp sauce were excellent. Portion sizes were great. Appreciated that the mixed salad greens came in two separately portioned bags.
Really wonderful dish. I don't like onions, however, the French fried onions went really well with the shrimp. Great dish.
Easy to make and a delicious healthy dish. Loved that it was 3/4 of the plate vegetables
Would have loved to have more of the smoky garlic sauce. I couldn't taste it. But it was a very nice salad and I loved how quickly it came together.
