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.
