- To make the vinaigrette whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
- In a salad bowl add the sliced red onion and tomatoes.
- Parboil the green beans for 5 minutes. Remove and place in the ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Remove the green beans from the ice water, dry, and add to the salad.
- Add the shrimp to the boiling water and parboil for 2 minutes. Remove and place in the ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain, dry, and add to the salad.
- Pour the vinaigrette over the salad, add the chopped bacon, toss, and serve.
