Salad
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Shrimp and arugula are a winning combination by now. To make the salad more flavorful, I recommend preparing a light dressing made of Dijon mustard, honey, lime and orange juice, and spices. You don't necessarily need tiger shrimp to make arugula salad with shrimp—regular, cocktail, or even king shrimp will work just as well. Serve at the table.
