Treat your ingredients with care...

Shrimp — Ensure that the shrimp is properly cooked and cooled before adding it to the salad to maintain its tender texture.
Tomatoes — Choose ripe and juicy tomatoes for the best flavor. If desired, you can remove the seeds before slicing to reduce the moisture content.

Tips & Tricks

For an extra kick of flavor, add a pinch of chili flakes to the vinaigrette.
You can customize the vinaigrette by adding herbs like basil or tarragon.
Serve the salad chilled for a refreshing summer dish.
If you prefer a milder garlic flavor, you can use roasted garlic instead of raw garlic in the vinaigrette.
Experiment with different types of shrimp, such as jumbo or tiger shrimp, to add variety to the dish.

Presentation advice

Arrange the tomato slices and shrimp in an alternating pattern on the serving platter to create an eye-catching display. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a pop of color.
