• For extra flavor, marinate the shrimp in the olive oil and spices for 30 minutes before grilling.
• Feel free to add other toppings such as sliced red onions, roasted corn, or black beans to customize your salad.

Storage and Serving

• This salad is best served immediately after assembling to maintain the crispness of the lettuce.
• If you have leftovers, store the salad and dressing separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator.
• The grilled shrimp can be reheated in a skillet or microwave before adding to the leftover salad.
