Notes

  • The equipment section above provides affiliate links to things I use often in my kitchen and love.
  • I used frozen pre-cooked shrimp and thawed in a bowl of cold water. You can also cook the shrimp yourself, just be sure to chill before incorporating with the other ingredients. 
  • Nutrition information calculated based on two entree-size servings. This would likely serve four as an appetizer.
