Delicious! I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfect. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the ginger-lime dressing was amazing.

Just ok. I found the recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra ginger and garlic to give it more flavor.

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The ginger-lime dressing is especially good.

Not a fan. The ginger was too overpowering and the shrimp were overcooked.

Easy to make and delicious. I used a pre-made ginger-sesame dressing to save time, and it turned out great.

This gingery shrimp salad was a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of sweet, sour, and spicy flavors was perfect, and the shrimp were cooked to perfection. I'll definitely be making this again.
