This amazingly flavorful recipe features a composed salad with cool and crisp vegetables, and beans topped with a warm dressing. The unique method that makes this complex dish only 20-minutes is the use of the sauté time on the shrimp to incorporate the paprika dressing ingredients. Make this salad even easier by using bagged, shredded Romaine lettuce (available in the produce section), as well as sliced celery, minced onion, and even drained chickpeas on the salad bar at your supermarket. Since cooking the shrimp is integral to the dressing, we recommend not using pre-cooked shrimp in this recipe.
