This made for a delicious lunch this afternoon. Yummy stuff...I made them last night so they sat overnight to blend all the delicious flavors together. I did half the recipe though since it is just 2 for lunch. The mixed flavors were absolutely wonderful and such a nice crunch from the veggies with a great kick from the chipotle peppers. Of course silly me, I realized I forgot to mix the shrimps with the salad and I had already stuffed my shells the night before, so I just put the shrimps on the side with a little mix of mayo and dijon. Turned out to be a fantastic lunch. Thanks for this great recipe Rita
