Shrimp Salad

i went down to one of the cafes in the new campus center for lunch on friday with patrick and amazingly, they had boiled shrimps at their salad bar!!! must be my lucky day coz i hardly ever eat at the campus center during summer unless patrick comes and drags me over, but they've never served shrimps at the salad bar everytime i've been there. anyway, i proceeded to make myself a shrimp salad, got myself some new england clam chowder (to which i added more shrimps) and a bottle of orange juice. lunch came up to $7.50 or so. it... was... yummy!!!

...but that wasn't enough. once i was done with lunch, i went back to the salad bar and bought more shrimps! lol, to the amusement of patrick, who sorta understands the crazy asians' love for all things seafood (ok, not ALL seafood, but most seafood. i mean, sea cucumber? yuck...) since he has a chinese girlfriend.

coincidentally i did just buy some mixed greens, my favourite romaine lettuce, and cherry tomatoes. hehe, which means... more shrimp salads to come!!! yay...

so, yeah, i just finished eating my shrimp salad supper. burp. excuse me. here's the recipe... nothing special, but a totally fantabulous salad.

chop up some fresh romaine lettuce, pile it on top of some mixed greens. dump in some cherry/grape tomatoes. add some croutons, then flood it with lotsa small chilled boiled shrimps. sprinkle some black pepper. now top up with some thousand island dressing.

i mixed the thousand island dressing with equal parts mayonnaise and some lemon juice to tone down the sweetness and tangy taste of the thousand island dressing.

voila.
