The refrigerator light goes on...
Shrimp salad was the summer special meal when I was a teenager. I lived near the shore and there's nothing better than the simple combination of shrimp with celery, pickle relish and a little paprika stuffed into a hollowed out tomato to make it feel like summer. Unless, of course, it's the corn on the cob.... This variation is quick and easy and low in fat.
