Kori's Tips

  • Use pre-cooked shrimp and bacon for a really fast meal.
  • Grilling tip, thread the shrimp on skewers or use a grill basket to keep the shrimp from falling through.
  • Substitute your favorite lettuce instead of cabbage.
  • If you have some seafood seasoning, mix it in with your dressing or sprinkle on top along with some fresh dill. So delicious!
  • Tasty salad additions: Hard-boiled eggs, cucumber, green onions, and shredded carrot.
