Shrimp Salad

There are many things I have missed during quarantine, but I have especially missed the fresh flavor of the shrimp ceviche at Mesero. There are few things better than a light, fresh dish paired with Topo Chico and a beautiful patio in 90-degree heat. This shrimp salad is not exactly like the ceviche, but it is close enough to hold me over until we can dine out again. I buy my shrimp freshly boiled at Central Market and it makes preparing this salad so quick and easy. I have also tried this salad with lime juice instead of lemon juice and love it both ways. Alex seems to prefer the lemon juice version, so I have stuck with that. This shrimp salad is best served cold and pairs well with tortilla chips if you like the extra crunch. Enjoy! xoxo
