This recipe was delicious! It was a bit time consuming which makes it difficult to make on the regular or on the go. Also, I followed the recipe to a T. Looking back, I should have added a few things for some citrus flavor. I love lemon so I'm sure a squirt of lemon juice would have added a whole lot as well as some extra veggies. Bell pepper? Who knows! This recipe is great by itself but it also leaves you room to get creative!

This was great, very easy to make. I added a little bit of orange juice to add a slight sweetness and it worked great with the salad. I would make this again.

This was pretty good. The crunchiness of the snow peas and radishes was awesome. Instead of steaming the snow peas, I blanched mine which still turned out crisp and yummy. The only complaint I would have is slicing the shrimp and the snow peas... it was time consuming and I'm not sure what this did for the recipe lol. Otherwise, it was awesome and the dressing was great!
