Number Of Ingredients 13

⅓ cup fresh lime juice
2 tsp. honey

1 English hothouse cucumber, halved lengthwise, thinly sliced crosswise

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but this salad was the perfect level of spice for me. The dressing was also very flavorful without being too overwhelming.

This salad is a great way to cool down on a hot summer day. The shrimp are also a great source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids.
