Shrimp Salad With Ginger-Lime Dressing

When it's hot outside and you want something light and fresh to eat, this quick shrimp salad with tangy ginger-lime dressing can't be beat. Just marinate the shrimp while you whisk together the simple dressing. Pop the shrimp under the broiler for a few minutes until they're a little charred. While they cook, toss the rest of the salad ingredients in a big bowl with the dressing. Top with the shrimp and dinner's ready! Thirty-minute meals are wonderful, aren't they?

Here are more of my favorite shrimp recipes to make all summer (and beyond!), plus a handful of other delicious dinner salads to try.

Can you use frozen shrimp in shrimp salad?

Absolutely. I love stashing a bag of shrimp in my freezer for easy meals just like this! Just be sure to thaw it before marinating.

Can you make ginger-lime dressing ahead of time?

Sure! This dressing can be whisked together up to two days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Give it a good shake before using.
