The dressing is a little too sweet for my taste. I'll try adding less sugar next time.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I had some cooked shrimp in the fridge, and this was the perfect recipe to use them up.

The dressing for this salad is amazing! I used a little less sugar than the recipe called for, and it was still plenty sweet. The lime juice and fish sauce give it a nice tang, and the red pepper flakes add a bit of heat.
