Shrimp Salad

A friend of mine who is a personal trainer introduced me to http://www.skinnytaste.com/ and so far I have loved all the recipes I have tried from her blog. She even has a gluten free section, which makes it nice for people like me.

I found this tasty little appetizer and tried it a few weeks ago. I had to share since it really was so tasty. You can have it in a sandwich too, if you want.
