Instructions
  1. Prepare the vinaigrette in a small bowl by whisking together the vinegar, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper. While continuing to whisk, add the olive oil.
  2. Place half of this mixture into a bowl, add the shrimp and toss. Cover and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  3. Fill a medium sized pot with water and set on the stove to boil. Once the water is boiling, add the green beans and allow to cook for 2-3 minutes, until bright green. Immediately place in a colander under cool running water until completely cooled. Turn out on to a clean dish-towel or paper towel and pat dry.
  4. In a medium bowl, stir together the remaining vinaigrette, green beans, cherry tomatoes and olives.
  5. Heat a small nonstick frying pan on the stove over medium heat. Add 1/2 teaspoon olive oil and let warm up for a few minutes before adding the shrimp to the pan. Saute until pink and opaque, approximately 3-5 minutes. Drain any liquid that may be in the pan.
  6. Add the shrimp to the vegetable/vinaigrette mixture, toss and serve.
