Notes

Shrimp: To enhance the flavor of the shrimp, you can let them soak in the marinade in the refrigerator for an hour before cooking them. I like to use big shrimp for this recipe but you can also use medium or small ones if you prefer.
Veggies: You can change the amount of each vegetable that you put in the salad according to your liking. For example, you can add more tomatoes if you want a sweeter and juicier taste.
Mayonnaise: This salad has a lot of creaminess so you can adjust the amount of mayonnaise to fit your preference. If you want more creaminess, add a few extra spoons; if you want less creaminess, add less mayo.
