Mmm, that looks so good!!
Wow, you have some great WW recipes here! Thanks for sharing them :)
This is a great site! I found it through entrecard and just bookmarked it! This shrimp salad looks yummy!!

I stumbled onto your website just yesterday. Let me say, as a person who just started WW, who LOVES food, LOVES recipes, LOVES cooking and LOVES vegetable gardening, your website is truly a spectacular find.
I made this recipe tonight - unbelievable! Your recipes are all so simple to pull together - and anyone who cooks a lot just "knows" when a recipe is going to work or not. I've not seen one on this site that I don't think will be exceptional.
Thanks, Gina - I'm excited about WW, and your website will be a constant companion.
And for full disclosure: I used Seasoned Rice Wine Vinegar instead of the lime. My lime tree is bare right now! :/ So, whenever I see a recipe that calls for just a bit of lemon of lime, and I don't have one, I substitute the vinegar. Seems to me the point is to add a touch of acid for brightness, and a bit of sweetness, and SRWV does both, without having to run to the store.
Thanks Patrick! I love to cook, eat and garden as well! Food is all I think about :) Of course, I have my days when experimenting doesn't work out, but those recipes don't get published. It's a challenge remaking some favorites without all the fat and yet still tasting like exceptional, but I enjoy the challenge.
I added dill weed to this recipe and it was excellent.
Peter, how prescient of you! I just came back to this comments section to say I used this basic recipe to recreate an old favorite pasta salad of mine, which had shrimp and dill in it! It also had tons of mayo and olive oil - but with a couple of minor changes to this recipe, it was every bit as wonderful as my old favorite. Possibly better, because it's better for me!
Gina: I really don't mean to verge on spamming this particular comments section - but this recipe is just so great I can't help myself. I am about to make this AGAIN...for the third time this week! Now if my cucumber plants would just grow a little faster...

Made this again tonight - added some very finely minced pickled jalapeños with juice (deleted lime), changed the spices up a bit. *sigh* I'm addicted. Now on to the Turkey Stuffed Zucchini...
Patrick that's a great idea! I'll have to give that a try!
This recipe is the gift that keeps on giving. The seafood guy at Safeway even asked why I was buying a pound of shrimp so frequently! Tonight, I did the jalapeno thing, but realized I was out of light mayo. However, I did have some Kraft Fat Free Thousand Island Dressing - so I substituted. I also added a little low salt ketchup to increase the tomato taste. It was great! Kind of like Shrimp "Louis".
