Spinach Salad with Shrimp and Feta

Ingredients:

* 1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
* 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
* 1 shallot, finely chopped
* 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
* 1 tablespoon spicy mustard
* 1 tablespoon honey
* Salt and pepper
* 8 ounces spinach
* 1/2 cup feta cheese

For a change
Chill the shrimp and serve the salad cold.
Directions:

1.

In a medium skillet, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and stir-fry until opaque, 2 to 3 minutes.
2.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the shallot, vinegar, mustard and honey; season with salt and pepper. Pour in the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil in a slow stream, whisking constantly until thick. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked shrimp to the dressing and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
3.

Arrange the spinach on a platter or individual plates. Place the warm shrimp on top and drizzle with any remaining dressing. Scatter the feta on top.
