Shrimp Summer Salad Recipe

Let's make this shrimp salad super yummy! When you cook the shrimp with fresh herbs and garlic, it gives it a lot of flavor without being too strong. It's perfect for a light summer meal, especially if you're having friends over. And here's the best part: it cooks really fast, so you won't be stuck at the stove for ages. You can even make a bunch and keep it in the fridge all week. And it's not just for salads—you can use it to make other dishes even tastier!
