I'm not a big fan of shrimp, so I substituted chicken in this recipe. It turned out great!

I thought the salad was a bit bland. I added some extra lime juice and ginger to the dressing, and that helped a lot.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my salad didn't turn out as good as I hoped. The dressing was too sour and the shrimp was overcooked.
