Salad Ingredients
Method
Preparation Directions
- 1
Prepare the Sweet Chili Shrimp
In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the shrimp. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and opaque. Pour in the sweet chili sauce and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring to coat the shrimp evenly. Remove from heat and set aside.
