Spicy Shrimp Spinach Salad

by

Try this light and easy Spicy Shrimp Spinach Salad. It will sure be a hit on a hot summer day! As with other seafood, shrimp is high in calcium, iodine and protein. A shrimp-based meal is also a significant source of cholesterol depending on the method of preparation. Shrimp consumption, however, is considered healthy for the circulatory system.
