Must make

I don't usually post recipes because there are some of you pro cooks on here who are a little intimidating and may laugh at my attempts but I did make make a winner last night (the rhubarb pie with soggy crust not so much).

3 garlic cloves finely chopped
1 tbs chopped fresh oregano leaves (which I forgot I had in the garden, until AFTER I bought some)
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
3 tbs olive oil
1/2 lb shrimp or chicken thinkly sliced diagonally
1 lb green or mix of green and yellow beans trimmed
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup pitted kalmata olives

Whisk together vinegar, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper. Whisk while adding the olive oil. Place shrimp or chicken in a bowl and pour dressing over, cover, refrigerate for 30 minutes

Prepare large bowl of icewater, cook beans in microwave-covered for 3 minutes or until bright green and crisp tender, about 3. Drain and immediatly place in ice water and then drain

Spread shrimp or chicken on baking sheet and broil
In a boil mix tomatoes, olives, add beans and dressing serve with shrimp or chicken on top.
