Light and Bright Salad
This shrimp salad is light and bright and the perfect fresh side dish. From the rainbow color of healthy ingredients packed into this salad, to the creamy (no mayo!) dressing, to the perfectly sautéed shrimp — and did we mention this salad comes together in under 30 minutes?!
Prepping Shrimp Before Cooking
This recipe calls for peeled, deveined raw shrimp, and most grocery stores will carry this, but if you end up buying unpeeled or veined raw shrimp, simply peel and / or devein before cooking. If your shrimp is frozen, you’ll need to thaw your raw shrimp before cooking. Do so by placing frozen shrimp in a strainer and run cold water over the frozen shrimp until they are thawed to the touch.

How Long Does Shrimp Salad Last in the Fridge?
Because this shrimp salad and its dressing use so many delicious fresh ingredients, it will only last up to 3 days when stored in an air-tight container in the fridge, and is fresh and crunchiest on day 1 or 2. Small batch? If you don’t think you’ll be able to finish this healthy shrimp salad in 3 days or less, feel free to make a 1/2 batch!
