Generally when someone thinks of healthy eating the first thing that comes to mind is a salad . Sure they may be the go to dish for us health foodies, but sometimes you need to flare it up.
I came across this recipe for an Asian inspired spinach salad with grilled shrimp that I had to share !
Enjoy and your waistline will thank me later !!!
Spinach Salad with Grilled Shrimp
An Asian-flavored vinaigrette with an orange juice kicker is the secret to this simple salad, while ginger and cumin give the shrimp skewers nice spice. Since the shrimp only cooks for three minutes, this recipe gives you a good chance to try a dessert after dinner.
