Summer Shrimp SaladThis is wonderful on a hot day.  And there are still have a few hot days around.  This is a riff on the shrimp salad my mother used to make.  She used canned shrimp, because we didn’t get much fresh or frozen shrimp in the Northern Plains back in the day.  But, we’ve come a long way baby.  Continue reading →
