Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.

Add the marinated shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 1.5 to 2 minutes per side.

After 1.5 minutes, turn the shrimp over and cook for an additional 30 seconds.

Remove shrimp from the skillet after a total cooking time of no more than 4 minutes to avoid rubbery texture.

Transfer shrimp to a resting tray to cool down before serving on salad.
