Meanwhile, mix in a medium bowl the tomatoes, cucumbers, cheese, olives, oregano, 2 Tbsp of the olive oil and 2 tsp of the vinegar. Add shrimp to bowl. Lightly toss ingredients to coat. Set aside. (Can be made an hour or so ahead).
When ready to serve, drizzle remaining oil, 2 tsp of vinegar, as well as a generous sprinkling of sea salt and pepper, over spinach or lettuce in a large bowl. Toss
