Roasted Shrimp Salad..



Last week my husband and I went to visit his sister's family in Alexandria, VA. We had such a blessed time going to DC and playing with our niece and nephew. There is nothing better than having time with your family and cooking! On Saturday we made this wonderful shrimp salad for a get together with family. We served it with Bib lettuce and avocado slices. The time together was priceless and the plates were licked clean! I loved it so much that I just went to the market and made it for dinner tonight! I am looking forward to eating on the porch with my hubby and loving this beautiful day! Enjoy!
