Easy to make Shrimp, Tomato & Corn Salad that is ready in 15 minutes. This is perfect to serve for dinner over pasta, as a appetizer or a light lunch.
This is my current go to lunch as well as go to appetizer for dinner parties if I don’t have time to bake some homemade bread. I love this dish because it’s easy to make, filled with healthy vegetables and is delicious. If I’m expecting a solo dinner, I can quarter this recipe and serve over some fettuccine noodles and it tastes like a gourmet meal.
I love the taste of lime and cilantro to garnish a dish, but if lime isn’t your thing you could substitute lemon juice instead. You could also turn this into a full salad and throw it on top of some crunchy arugula – another one of my favorite lunches!
See, isn’t this salad awesome because it’s so flexible? Hope you enjoy!
