Most of you would probably be surprised, but I never cared for shrimp so much or maybe not until I tried it in this salad. This shrimp makes a delicious addition to the rest of the light and fresh ingredients. And if you flavor it with some bacon pieces, it’ll make the salad too good to even be called a salad.
