This Northern California heat is definitely growing my repertoire of minimal-cooking dinners! I mean, sheesh. After a steamy day, the last thing I want to do is stand in front of a boiling pot of anything, no matter how delicious.
This salad is fabulous and refreshing on a warm day (or any day, really!). And the shrimp take just a few minutes in a skillet. Totally doable!
