Shrimp rice salad is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is made with cooked shrimp, rice, vegetables, and a light dressing. The shrimp and rice are typically cooked separately, and then combined with the vegetables and dressing. The vegetables can vary depending on what you have on hand, but common choices include celery, onion, cucumber, and tomato. The dressing is typically made with olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, and herbs. Shrimp rice salad can be served warm or cold, and is a great way to use up leftover shrimp and rice.
