I'm not a big fan of shrimp, but this salad was amazing! The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the dressing was so flavorful. I'll definitely be making this again.

The grilled shrimp were a bit overcooked, but the wild rice and dressing were delicious.

This grilled shrimp and wild rice salad was an absolute delight! The shrimp were cooked to perfection, with a slightly charred exterior and tender, juicy interior. The wild rice added a nutty flavor and chewy texture that complemented the shrimp beau
