So tasty, so simple. Doubled the dressing and made half the shrimp for a dinner sized salad for my husband and I. Doubling dressing wasn't necessary, halving the shrimp made for perfect portions (along with halved salad ingredients plus a handful more of spinach). I really dislike cumin but it gave the shrimp a nice smokey texture. Agree that you could add something like pecans to make it more crunchy or filling but not sure you need it. Delicious, will be making it again and again.

Excellent! Didn't have any fresh ginger so I used ground ginger and my teenager doesn't like mushrooms, so I left those out also. A really great, light meal.
