Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh shrimp, vegetables, and herbs will give your salad the best flavor.
- Cook the shrimp properly: Overcooked shrimp will be tough and chewy. Cook them just until they turn pink and opaque.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing can be made up to 3 days in advance. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The shrimp will become tough if it sits for too long.
