This salad was easy to make and it was pretty good. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the dressing was tangy and sweet. I would make it again if I was in a pinch, but it's not my favorite salad.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I liked the combination of flavors and textures. I think I would make it again, but I would use a different dressing.

I was really disappointed with this salad. The shrimp were rubbery and the dressing was bland. I definitely won't be making this again.

This salad was just okay. The shrimp were a bit overcooked and the dressing was a little too sweet for my taste. I probably won't make this again.

I'm not usually a fan of shrimp salad, but this recipe changed my mind. The citrusy dressing and the crunchy almonds were the perfect complements to the shrimp. I'll definitely be making this again!
