If you’re using frozen shrimp, make sure to thaw them completely and drain them well before adding them to the salad.

You can adjust the amount of dressing according to your taste. Some people prefer a lighter dressing, while others prefer a more generous amount.
You can add other ingredients to the salad like avocado, cucumber, or red onion for extra flavor and nutrition.
If you’re making the salad in advance, store the ingredients separately and add the dressing right before serving.

To make the salad more filling, you can add cooked quinoa or brown rice to the salad.
