SHRIMP/PRAWNS AND OLIVES SALAD.

Shrimp/prawns and Olives Salad. image

I came up with this recipe a few days ago when I wanted to make a shrimp salad that did not have pasta or salad greens in it. I added things as I went along. The olives add a unique taste to the salad. The recipe calls for pickle juice even though it does not contain any pickles. If you don't have pickle juice, just add more olive juice. This salad tastes better if it is refrigerated for several hours or overnight. Since both olive and pickle juices have a lot of salt in them, there is no salt listed in the ingredients list. This can be served as a meal or as an appetizer at a party. Cook time is refrigeration time and is the minimal time it should be refrigerated for best flavor.

I've never been a huge fan of arugula, but this salad changed my mind. The bitterness of the arugula pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the shrimp and the brininess of the olives.
