If you start with boiled shrimp from the grocery store, this salad makes for a wonderfully simple and tasty supper. I did reduce the oil to vinegar ratio a bit (personal taste) but otherwise changed nothing. I like the added bit of zip the mustard lends. A good find for summer evenings when you want something cool and easy to throw together.
