Vibrant, fresh, and filling, you can't go wrong with this perfect union of juicy tomatoes and sweet basil in our irresistible, summery shrimp salad. It may seem strange to add the shrimp to the liquid in the pan before it is heated, but it gives the shrimp more time to flavor the liquid—and the liquid to flavor the shrimp—resulting in a really nice, complex dressing for the salad that comes together in a matter of minutes. You could also toss this salad with steaming hot pasta like penne or fusilli for a hearty, family-style main dish. The heat of the pasta will cause the greens to wilt as the ingredients are tossed together.
