Shrimp Mango Salad with Lime vinaigrette

How springy is this shrimp mango salad? It’s mid January and here I am, eating a shrimp and mango salad. It’s mainly because I really can’t wait for spring to come but it also because  doesn’t hurt to enjoy one’s ????

This tropical grilled mango salad will make you forget all about winter and enjoy a nice fresh meal in this chilly weather ???? ????

The sweetness of the mango along with the citric lime vinaigrette, pair very well with the subtle flavor of the warm shrimp. It’s comes together fairly quickly and is ready in under 20 minutes. I like to prepare the salad and vinaigrette ahead of time, and then grill or pan sear the shrimp right before serving. I also like to top my salad with some fresh cheese; it’s a must! I topped this bowl of sweet & savory goodness with some freshly grated parmesan.
