Cold Chopped Shrimp Salad

COLD CHOPPED CITRUS SHRIMP SALAD

Spring is in full swing, and now everyone is ready for summer. I don’t know about everyone else, but here, we love to take any and every opportunity to grill outside, and have people over to partake in a lot of fun in the sun.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe:

• Heinen’s cooked shrimp are pretty much ready to go! Besides the tail being on, it’s a quick pinch to each one and they can be ready to serve once defrosted. They’re all consistently large, and super fresh for being frozen. They retain their beautiful red hue and taste amazing even solo.

• It’s something different to bring to the party. I would have never thought to make this, but it’s cold, refreshing, light and makes a lot for that popular BBQ side dish! Not to mention it’s also a feast for the eyes on the tablescape.

• There’s a lot of fresh produce going on in here. With cucumbers, celery, dill and tons of citrus to liven up the dressing - it’s a party of flavor. You’ll have people asking for the recipe if they’re a fan of shrimp.

• Heinen’s also has a variety of other shrimp options besides this product. They also have an incomparable cocktail shrimp tray and sauce.
