I haven’t
updated this space for a while, so thought of posting this spicy shrimp avocado
salad. There are many ways shrimps can be prepared and relished. This salad is
one healthy way of introducing nourishing foods to our menu. This comes as
refreshing change to a mundane summer salad. Avocado and alfalfa sprouts add up
to the flavour and health benefits. Now without further ado here is simple
recipe for this salad.
