Shrimp Salad: a delicious and light recipe

Shrimp Salad is a light, summery salad recipe perfect for warm weather. Made with fresh shrimp, crunchy vegetables, and a refreshing, creamy dressing, this easy and savory lunch or dinner recipe is always a crowd favorite. You can serve this dish on its own, with a crunchy bed of lettuce for a satisfying salad, or turn it into a crunch sandwich with toasted bread. It also works as a delicious dip over salty crackers.

How to make Shrimp Salad

To start, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange fresh halved cherry tomatoes, shredded carrots, diced yellow pepper, red onion, and broccoli. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt, black pepper, red pepper, and dried oregano. Bake for 20 minutes, until crisp. Make some space in the center of the baking sheet and add the shrimp. Sprinkle with black pepper, salt, red pepper and dried oregano and toss to coat. Squeeze with half of a lemon and bake for 7 minutes.

While that cooks, in a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, honey, red pepper, dried oregano until combined evenly.

Fill a bowl with lettuce and top with the roasted vegetables and shrimp. Pour on the dressing and toss to coat.
