Tips:

  • When choosing shrimp for this salad, look for ones that are fresh and have a firm texture. Avoid shrimp that are discolored or have a slimy texture.
  • To cook the shrimp perfectly, boil them in salted water for 2-3 minutes, or until they are pink and opaque. Do not overcook the shrimp, as this will make them tough.
  • Asparagus should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight crunch. You can blanch the asparagus in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, or roast it in the oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes.
  • The dressing for this salad is a simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper. You can adjust the proportions of the ingredients to taste.
  • To assemble the salad, combine the cooked shrimp, asparagus, and your favorite salad greens in a bowl. Drizzle with the vinaigrette and toss to coat. Serve immediately.
