Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the 6 cups kale and 2 tbsp olive oil. Massage the kale with your hands for 2-3 minutes until it becomes tender and dark green.
Step 2
Season the 1 lb shrimp with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
Step 3
Thinly slice the 1 carrot and both bell peppers into matchsticks. If using frozen edamame, thaw it by running under warm water for 1 minute.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk the juice of 1 lemon with 2 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
Step 5
Add the sliced carrot, bell peppers, and 1 cup edamame to the kale. Pour the dressing over and toss to combine.
Step 6
Top the salad with the cooked shrimp. Serve immediately, garnished with edible flowers if desired.
