📖 Ingredient notes
- Pink grapefruit. Grapefruit is a tropical citrus fruit. It has a sweet and sour taste. This fruit is rich in nutrients, antioxidants and fiber.
- Shrimp. Make sure they’re cooked, peeled and deveined. Shrimps often come already cooked at the grocery store so they should be easy to find. Shrimps are one of the most consumed types of shellfish. They are quite nutritious and provide high amounts of certain nutrients, such as iodine.
- Balsamic vinegar. This vinegar has a sweet taste that perfectly complements the pink grapefruit and shrimps.
- Olive oil. Make sure to use extra virgin olive oil.

(You can squeeze the juice from the membranes and transfer all excess juice into a separate glass to drink it later).
Add shrimps, olive oil and balsamic vinegar to the salad bowl. Mix the salad to make sure it is well coated with dressing. And voilà! Your shrimp salad is ready! Serve immediately. Bon appétit!
