I love shrimp. I used to hate them and most seafood when i was young (except flounder, I have always loved flounder). People often complain about growing older but one of the definite perks is developing the ability to appreciate delicious foods! Now I love shrimp, scallops, moldy cheeses, spicy food, mushrooms and a lot of other things that 6-year-old me viewed with contempt.
This shrimp salad is healthy and delicious. I love the earthy heat of cumin and coriander (spice I think of as best friends and must always be paired in a dish). I like toasting the chick peas until crispy; I make them into a kind of healthy crouton that way, I suppose. The green snap peas add a beautiful fresh crunch and the shrimp is cooked perfectly pink and tender. A delicious week night salad!
