Frozen Sugar Snap Peas
and Frozen Shrimp Salad

This simple salad recipe is easy to make,
especially if you keep the ingredients on hand.
frozen shrimp and frozen snap peas work well.
The avocados really make this salad.
I like that the dressing is really light
and simple because it lets the flavor
of the cooked shrimp shine through.

Ingredients:
1/2 lb. cooked shrimp, shelled and devined, thawed if frozen
1/2 lb. sugar snap peas, blanched
1 cup long grain rice
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tsp. dried dill weed
1/2 tsp. salt or to taste
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 Tbsp. prepared mustard
1/4 cup chopped green onion tops

Directions:
Cook rice as directed on package.
Meanwhile, combine vinegar, oil, dill weed,
salt, pepper, and mustard and mix well.
Pour 2 Tbsp. of this dressing over
the hot rice and toss gently.
Cover rice and refrigerate 1 hour or until cold.
In medium bowl, combine rice, green onions,
shrimp, pea pods and remaining dressing;
toss gently to combine.
Place onto serving plates and squeeze
some fresh lemon juice over each salad.
Serve immediately.
