I'm allergic to shrimp, so I used tofu instead. It was still delicious!

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of honey in the dressing next time.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I always have some in my freezer, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can use them in.
