1 medium carrot, grated

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 clove garlic, minced

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Preparation Steps:

Boil the diced potatoes in salted water until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the shrimp to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook until pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Remove shrimp and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the cooked chickpeas and oregano, stirring for 2-3 minutes to warm through and infuse flavor. Remove and set aside.
In a small pan, fry the egg to your preference (sunny side up recommended).
In a large bowl, combine the lettuce, tomato, grated carrot, boiled potatoes, chickpeas, and shrimp. Drizzle with remaining olive oil and gently toss to combine.
Top the bowl with the fried egg.
Adjust seasoning with extra salt and pepper if needed before serving.
