Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the salad will taste. If possible, buy organic produce.
- Chop the vegetables evenly: This will help them cook evenly and make the salad more visually appealing.
- Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery.
- Use a light dressing: A light dressing will help to brighten the flavors of the salad without overpowering them.
- Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The shrimp will start to toughen up if it sits for too long.
