  • Select the freshest ingredients possible. This will make a big difference in the taste of your dish. Look for plump, brightly colored shrimp, fresh spinach, and ripe tomatoes.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it or it will become tough and rubbery. Cook the shrimp for just a few minutes per side, or until it is opaque and pink.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. Olive oil is a key ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine and it can really make a difference in the flavor of your dish. Choose a fruity, extra virgin olive oil for best results.
  • Season your dish with salt and pepper to taste. This will help to bring out the flavors of the other ingredients.
  • Serve the dish immediately. This is a dish that is best served hot, so enjoy it as soon as it is ready.
