Eat More Shrimp!!

When my family goes to the beach we take turns cooking an evening meal (cook's choice) for all to enjoy.  We've found over the years eating out in restaurants at the beach can be expensive and we are usually disappointed in the quality of the meal!  So a new tradition was born and we love it!!  This year Bman made Spaghetti for all of us; I made Chicken and Rice Casserole; Harley Man did Shrimp and Crab Legs and Prissy made Meatloaf.  Yummmmm!!!  Of course we had other things to go along with the meal...these were the main entrees and not a drop was left by the end of the week.

The evening we had Harley Man's shrimp (I think he bought 10 pounds!!!) there were leftovers.  So Prissy and I searched for a very easy Shrimp Salad recipe (we were trying to use only ingredients we had on hand since we didn't want to bring lots of food back with us) to make use of the leftovers.  We found a delicious, easy recipe...just what we needed to tempt everyone to "Eat More Shrimp"!!  Lol!  Needless to say...it was gone in a heartbeat the next day!!
