Given to me from "Love Lea".

(I "winged it", it still was awesome.)

Ingredients:

1/4 cup EVOO (extra virgin olive oil)
1 Tablespoon minced garlic

1-2 Tablespoons sunflower seed and pumpkin seed kernels (no shells...um...do I really need to say that?) :)

1 lb raw shrimp, no shell or tail, cut it off.

1 lb Arugula (or fresh Spinach if you can't find Arugula)
2 Tablespoons white sugar
2-3 cups diced watermelon

Prep/cooking:
  1. Heat the olive oil over high heat in a medium size saucepan till tiny bubbles appear
  2. Add the minced garlic (more or less to your taste...I like a lot of garlic)
  3. Cook for another 1-2 minutes
  4. Add shrimp, cook for a couple of minutes until shrimp is done. (Don't overcook the shrimp. Nothing is worse than overcooked shrimp. If unsure, simply under cook the shrimp and go to step 5)
  5. Turn off heat and add the sunflower kernels and the pumpkin kernels, stir
  6. Remove from heat after 1-2 minutes
  7. Cut shrimp into smaller pieces, if desired
  8. After the above cools a bit, toss all of it with the Arugula, white sugar and the diced watermelon.
  9. Enjoy.

Suggestions:
You can certainly add or adjust the ingredients to your taste. (Add black pepper, etc...)

I forgot to add 1 (or two) Tablespoon LIME juice.

Add it in in step 4.
