I found the pesto dressing to be a bit overpowering. I will try using less next time.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's because I used frozen corn. I will try it again with fresh corn next time.

This salad was a disappointment. The pesto dressing was too oily and the shrimp were overcooked.
