When I can serve the same dish two days in a row and there’s not a complaint to be heard about leftovers, then that’s a meal I’ll serve again.
Spicy Shrimp Salad
This salad recipe was incredibly easy to pull together thanks to a carton of lemony yogurt and a container of pre-cooked salad shrimp.
Spicy Shrimp Salad
We served our salad on a bed of fresh-from-the-garden red lettuce leaves with a handful of walnuts and celery tossed in for crunch.

Spicy Shrimp Salad Appetizers
Our shrimpy creation held up so well that we turned it into an appetizer scooped onto garlic toasts. You just can’t beat those double-duty meals.
Happy, healthy cooking!

I love that this delectable salad is so simple to throw together! I’d have no qualms about eating it day after day after day!!!

Thanks Liz – have a wonderful Sunday. It’s actually sunny here in Seattle, so I’m going to enjoy every minute of it.

I’m going to buy those salad shrimp more often. They’re definitely affordable and make a good salad.
I really love yogurt dressings and should eat them more often. This salad looks fabulous!

Yogurt does such a good job of making a creamy dressing, doesn’t it? Have a terrific Sunday!
Kristi, Shrimp Salad is always a welcome dish at our house too – but I never made a version that contains celery and walnuts – those are healthy additions to any salad and I sure that they taste interesting together with shrimp. I really like the picture with the garlic toast, looks wonderfully summery.

I must admit that my husband preferred the garlic toasts, but then he loves bread anytime.
Ooooh! Looking snazzy. And you’re totally right, any meal that you can get a twofer out of is definitely worth saving. Looks fabulous!

The veggies and shrimp really held up well, and actually tasted better the next day once the flavors had time to meld.
Hip hip hooray for double duty dishes! This one is a beauty.

With just the two of us, there’s usually more than enough leftovers for a meal the next day. Have a good Sunday Sandra!
Nice dish! We’re heavy into main course salads at the moment. It’s so nice to have precooked shrimp in the freezer – something I’m rarely without. Good recipe – thanks.

That precooked shrimp is so affordable too, and a nice source of protein in a salad.
You had me at shrimp! Heh. But I love how easy this is to put together!

This time of year I’m all about anything quick to put on the table so I can go play outside while Seattle isn’t raining.
Your shrimp salad sounds so good and very easy to put together.

Thanks Karen – this time of year I’m all about easy cooking and enjoying the summer.
Easy and tasty are the key words here! I never say no to such a treat!

I’ve gained a new appreciation for those little salad shrimp. They’re so versatile!
I could not agree with you more. I would go so far as considering it a “need” to have meals planned that can serve double duty for me. It keeps me out of the kitchen as well as keeping us fed and happy!
Healthy too! Leftovers are a staple of my work day lunches.
