I'm not a big fan of shrimp, but I really enjoyed this salad. The zucchini and basil give it a nice flavor, and the dressing is just the right amount of tangy.

I'm giving this recipe 4 stars. It was easy to make and tasted good, but I found it to be a bit bland. I think I would add some more spices next time.
