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 it up. The salad was very flavorful and the dressing was very light and refreshing.

I'm not a big fan of seafood, but I really enjoyed this salad. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and the dressing was very flavorful. I would definitely make this again, even with a different protein.
