Preparation - 15 minutes
Fill the medium-sized pan with water and salt and bring to a boil. Cook the red lentils for about 10 minutes, depending on the type of lentils you're using. Peel the garlic cloves and make sure your shrimps are cleaned and peeled.
The easiest way to do is, is using a paring knife to cut across the shrimp to remove the intestinal tract. Add about 6 tablespoons of olive oil in the large skillet and add the garlic cloves.
Let the oil absorb the garlic flavour on low heat for about 5 minutes. Rinse the mixed greens and use a salad spinner to get rid of the excess water. Rinse the cucumbers and cut into slices or long strips.
Finishing the red lentil shrimp salad - 5 minutes
Drain the red lentils and divide them onto plates along with the mixed greens and cucumber slices. Remove the garlic cloves from the oil and turn the heat up.
Cook the shrimps for a few minutes and season with pepper and salt. Divide the shrimps over the plates and use the garlic oil as a dressing. Finish the salad with bean sprouts and enjoy!
