This New Year’s posting is about a New Orleans’ Shrimp Salad which was served last night at a New Year’s Party. Today our dear friend shares her recipe with our Readers.
So, I like the fact that this recipe is easy to make, comes together quickly, and looks great on the buffet table.
The recipe uses approximate amounts so you can adjust the ingredients to your liking and dietary concerns.
