This salad was a disappointment. The shrimp was tough and the plums were bland. The dressing was also very bland.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salad didn't turn out as good as I hoped. The dressing was too sour and the shrimp was overcooked.

This salad is very easy to make, but it does take a little bit of time to prepare the shrimp and plums.

I would have liked the dressing to be a little bit thicker. I added a little bit of cornstarch to thicken it up.

I'm not a big fan of shrimp, but I loved this salad. The plums and dressing really made it.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. It's also a healthy and filling meal.

I didn't have any plums, so I used peaches instead. They worked just as well, and the salad was still delicious.

I used grilled shrimp instead of boiled shrimp, and it turned out great. The smokiness of the shrimp added an extra layer of flavor.

The dressing is the star of this dish. It's tangy, sweet, and a little bit spicy. It really brings all the flavors together.

I'm not usually a fan of salads, but this one changed my mind. The shrimp was cooked to perfection, and the plums added a nice sweetness. I'll definitely be making this again.
