We had a food tasting last saturday at cafe fontana, clarkfield, pampanga, philippines. one of the salads being served is shrimps and egetable salad which i found it healthy and delicious. it contains boiled shrimps, potato, carrots in a cream with pineapple chunks and cherry. i really like it and planning to try it at home.

Wow! Sounds like a very interesting salad. I've never heard anything like it. I love shrimp in my salad. So delicious! I'm not a huge fan of fruit in my salad though. I don't like mixing that sweet taste with my vegetables and dressing. I'd be willing to try just about anything once though and if I ever had the chance to try the salad you mentioned, I definitely would!

Buttered garlic shrimps - Shrimp Dish
Yes shrimp salad is just so easy to do. Occasionally, do it at home for my guests but to me shrimp is more enticing to me if cooked some other way. So if I have shrimps and will cook for my family I cook either tempura, or buttered or in coconut milk. I make sure I use lots of chili when I cook buttered garlic shrimp or shrimp in coconut milk. Hmmmm, really so tasty!

That does sound pretty good. Though I think I'd like to taste it before buying everything so I know I made it right. And I'd probably omit the cherries, especially if they are the jarred ones as I don't like those.

Hi. lancerita. Welcome to myLot! I have never ate shrimp on my salad at all. I am not a huge fan of boiled shrimp. I may eat fried shrimp before I eat boiled shrimp though. I love salads, especially when it has yummy vegetables on it. I am glad that you have enjoyed eating the shrimp and vegetable salad at Cafe Fontana!

Shrimp veggie - Shrimp on stick
I've eaten shrimp and vegetable salad in one restaurant also but can't remember the name anymore. It is not in Cafe Fontana though. I found it something really new and enjoyed it very much just as you did. I don't really eat shrimps most of the time but veggies I do love however I enjoyed that combination a lot. I think shrimps do really need veggies for it to taste better and healthier. I also do like shrimps cue with veggies and unleavened bread.
