Spicy Shrimp Salad


This recipe was only for spicy shrimp, but i need to get in my veggies also, so decided to make it a salad. Here is the original recipe and below is what I made.
In a pan saute ready to eat peeled shrimp cooked in the following for 4 min.
Olive Oil
Tabasco Sauce
Worcestershire
Cayenne Pepper
Salt
Pepper
Lemon
That was the original recipe as I found. Sorry I didn't write down where I found it. THe original didn't come with measurements so I just used what I thought was best. Seemed to work for the single portion I was going for.
In a skillet I sauted the following for about 5-8 mins. It took a little longer since I used frozen shrimp
1t Walnut Oil
2 1/2 oz Squash
1 1/4 oz Zuchini
2 5/8 oz Bell Peppers (Red, Yellow, Orange and Green)
5 3/4 oz Peeled with tails off Cocktail Shrimp (weighted Frozen)
Once the shrimp were cooked I placed all the above on top of:
2oz baby Spinach
1 small Avacado
2oz Red Onion
4oz Homemade Salsa (as my dressing)
The salsa itself has a kick to it, so I really was drinking the water while eating this. I love my spicy food.
Enjoy
