CREAMY SHRIMP SALAD OVERVIEW
Hi Tootz! How’s your Summer coming along? It has been hot here in California with the weather reaching up to the late 90 degrees! It’s pretty cooler inside the house and I’ve been keeping hydrated with lots of water!
So my Momzy texted me that she had some frozen shrimps in the freezer. She wanted me to make something off those shrimps that’s light and healthier for her. She wanted it to be flavorful with alot of veggies. Meaning add some garlic and onions. Her elderly palate is a bit weird! Yall have Moms like this too?? Yes, she did enjoy this creamy and flavorful salad. My son loved it and mouthbomb on it. I ended up making this twice!
No rice was involved in the making! Just pure creamy bliss on greenery!
Of course, I’ll follow it up with an Instagram Reel so you can watch how I made the salad.
So here is my Summery salad contribution – Creamy Shrimp Salad!

I just bought some shrimp so I think I’ll make this. I like that the recipe has dill, mayo and lemon!

Although it looks amazing, I would probably leave the celery out of it because most here don’t care for it. Everything else sounds amazing though.
Rosey
That was a good way to use the shrimp. It looks refreshing and delicious.
