This salad is our favorite quick meal when its just the two of us. Add bread to complete the meal. It's easy to substitute ingredients; try precooked shrimp thawed and soaked in lime juice or top with feta cheese.

I added some avocado to my salad and it was delicious. I think it would also be good with some chopped cucumber or bell pepper.

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