I found this recipe exciting with its Indian flavors. For me I love a salad or appetizer with a big punch of flavors. That doesn’t mean it needs to be spicy hot but just the right spice balanced with the lovely sweetness of the Ocean Spray® Cran·Pineapple™ Cocktail.
Ocean Spray’s® Cran·Pineapple™ Cocktail gives you 100% of your needed daily vitamin C per serving. It is a fun drink that young and old will enjoy from morning to night! I was excited to get cooking with this delightful beverage.
You can practically taste the flavor of this delicious recipe right here in this picture. This dish would work well for a side salad, a main or an appetizer.
The salad is very simple to make, purchasing already cooked shrimp saves loads of time. The marinade then whips up quickly and the shrimp are slid in and can be refrigerated for 3 hours to overnight. The shrimp are then served over baby greens with additional marinade as the dressing. Scrumptious!!
