    PERFECT SUMMER MEAL! (even though it's not summer yet

    This was very tasty and light meal! It complemented my watermelon-cucumber gazpacho perfectly. Only I mixed the shrimp with some arugula and avocado; Also, used light mayo. Topped with a little lemon juice and it was excellent! Thank you!

    Similar to the other reviewer, I only had a pound of shrimp so I adjusted the amounts. It was gone so fast I wish I had made more. Everyone raved. This is definitely not low cal but it is tasty! A definite crowd pleaser.....YUM!
