Summer Shrimp Salad

By davidv

Shrimp salad is a light and refreshing summer dish, and can be served in so many different ways. I like mine over a bed of lettuce!

Tip: This shrimp salad is the perfect food to carry to a cookout or party. It packs nicely into any Lock & Lock and is a great addition to the usual backyard barbecue spread
