Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the salad, in any order you like.

2. 2

   Drizzle a frying pan with olive oil.

3. 3

   Cook the shrimp over medium heat, seasoning it with mostly taco seasoning, and a few dashes of Chili Powder and garlic salt. Allow the cook to shrimp evenly, periodically drizzling with lime juice, and a small dash of cayenne pepper. (That cayenne pepper can be powerful!).

4. 4

   While the shrimp are cooking, prepare the dressing. Whisk the sour cream, light mayo and taco seasoning in a small bowl. Sprinkle with the seasonings and lime juice to taste. If you prefer a creamier dressing, use less lime juice.

5. 5

   Top the previously prepared salad with the shrimp and then with your desired amount of dressing.
