Shrimp Salad

We often do a seafood boil and since we love shrimp, put far more of those little buggers in the pot than we can eat. Consequently, the leftovers have turned into a pretty amazing shrimp salad recipe over the years.

We recently made it for the first time in months since some family members were visiting, and I found my son-in law sneaking it out of the refrigerator more than once. (Yep, it was Nick.)

This contains a little Jalapeno heat and an ingredient everybody says shouldn’t go with seafood, cheese. Everybody is wrong! It adds a great depth of flavor and though we love it as a salad makes for a delicious sandwich on bread and lettuce.  (Think lobster or shrimp roll.)
