Refreshing Shrimp Salad

If we looked the word versatile up in the dictionary I am positive Shrimp Salad would be in the definition. It's excellent served in a lettuce cup as a fancy luncheon accoutrement, a croissant for a sandwich, a small Mason jar at a picnic or just on a chip while watching a ballgame. I guess you could say Shrimp Salad can wear many hats.
