Simple Shrimp Salad

Shrimp, no doubt about it, is one of my favorite types of seafood, though I pretty much love all kinds of seafood. 🙂 I will eat any kind of shrimp, cooked any way.

I bought some little Bay shrimp for our shrimp and pineapple fried rice, Pineapple, Shrimp Fried Rice and only used about half of it. The rest of it, I used for a simple shrimp salad. It was really kind of like a shrimp Cobb salad. Larry always likes cheese on his salad, and I don’t. This time, I used feta cheese on Larry’s salad. I added avocado and pepita seeds to mine. But other than those simple changes, they were the same.

This salad was loaded with all kinds of fresh vegetables and goodness. I started with a bed of Romaine lettuce and spinach. Then cut up an heirloom tomato, some red and yellow bell peppers, red onions, green onions and cooked some green beans. I cooked up some bacon and hardboiled a couple of eggs, then assembled it all to look pretty. I added about 1 cup of the bay shrimp to each salad. Our dressing was my herbed tomato vinaigrette. Shrimp Kebabs with Tomato Vinaigrette Doesn’t this salad look pretty? It was D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S too! A perfect summer salad.

I used 9 different kinds of vegetables in this delicious summer salad, but again, you can use what you like. Larry and I eat a lot more vegetables, and a lot more variety of vegetables, than many vegetarians/vegans we know. I add vegetables to my vegetables all the time.

As I mentioned above, this is more or less a Cobb salad, only I made it with shrimp. You can use chicken or turkey to make it a traditional Cobb salad, and use bleu cheese instead of feta. When cooking, make things the way you like them. Make them with what you like to eat, since after all, you are the one who will be eating it.

Have a great day and make everyday great. Stay safe and stay well. ‘Til next time.
