Cold Shrimp & Cilantro Salad

This is my take on Costco's incredibly yummy Cilantro Lime Shrimp. I like mine with lots of garlic and spicy. You can tone yours down by using less garlic and crushed red pepper. Enjoy!Submitted by: FORSYTHIABUSH

This is such a wonderful and flexible recipe! It's fabulous with just the veggies in the sauce, or with tofu or chicken added instead of shrimp. My daughter said she could eat it three times per day! It's been wonderful on brown rice and red quinoa! This is also easy to prepare! - 3/7/11

Tried this with a few alterations for my bf who is on a special diet (The Specific Carbohydrate Diet).. we used honey instead of sugar and left out the hoisin sauce and the sesame seeds. He liked it a lot and I tried a shrimp - it was great. :) - 12/4/10
