Ever get bored with your food? I did. Oh, I love my low carb diet. I feel better eating this way. I’m losing weight, too. And I really love the food…but I lacked imagination. Same old, same old.
Lunchtime had arrived and I was out of ideas. I thought about making a yummy chicken walnut salad, but then I remembered I had some frozen shrimp in the freezer. Yipee, something new! This simple shrimp salad tasted absolutely delicious. I prettied things up a bit by serving it on some lettuce leaves, with avocado slices on the side. Another simple solution for everyday problems. I was one happy lady! If you like shrimp, you’ve got to try this.
