Divide the shrimp salad into equal portions and spoon into the center of the artichokes.
Toss the greens with a pinch of salt, the olive oil, and black pepper. Divide into equal portions and arrange on plates,
Place the artichokes on top of the greens and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 1 hour.
