Delicious, easy to make and filling! I added some jalapenos and lime zest because I like a little spice and a little citrus. Other than that, super yummy. Everyone should try this recipe!!!

The recipe was surprisingly good. I made a few changes along the way. I added some shrimp boil and a dash of cayenne pepper while the shrimp cooked. I also made thin slices of green and red bell peppers to garnish the salad and put the snow peas and shrimp over a bed of spring greens. The dressing was very good. As a final touch, I sprinkled a few red pepper flakes over the salad after dressing it and then gave a squeeze of lime to the whole salad. The peppers added color, the shrimp boil and red pepper flakes gave the salad a bit more zest and the lime brightened up the salad. It was delicious and plenty for four.

This was absolutely delicious, super refreshing, and perfect for summer. I love that it is made using lots of fresh ingredients, which makes it feel like a super healthy meal. I was afraid it would be too light and leave me hungry, but it was really satisfying. I was very pleasantly surprised by the flavor, which was wonderfully tangy and fresh without being too overpowering. I definitely recommend it!
