Citrus and Mango Shrimp Salad

Several weeks ago, I had a writer’s meeting at my house with a well-known journalist and author, Kathy Strong. Kathy just came out with a new book, The ’57 Chevy, and I wanted to celebrate her accomplishment and serve a tasty meal. Kathy and I both like salads, and I served one of my new recipes, Citrus and Mango Shrimp Salad. It’s easy to make and full of delicious and nutritious ingredients! Watch me make it.
