Layered salad with shrimp
Description
The salad is quick and easy to prepare. There are many variations of layered salads. I would like to offer a delicious, attractive, and light seafood layered salad that is gentle on the stomach. It's very simple to make and looks like a real centerpiece for any table. If you already have boiled shrimp and eggs on hand, assembling the salad won't take much time or effort. You can serve the salad either in a large salad bowl or in individual serving dishes, or arrange it using a cooking ring. The salad is ready to serve.
Instructions

Step 1
Prepare all the ingredients from the list. I previously boiled the shrimp in salted water; cool them down and peel. You can use any shrimp—large or small. The net weight of peeled shrimp should be at least 200 grams, so if you're using shrimp with heads and shells, get extra. You can set aside a few whole shrimp to decorate the salad. Also, boil the eggs in advance and let them cool.
