Sautéed Shrimp with Mozzarella and Tomato
Please rate
This salad is a classic. Mozzarella, basil, tomato and my personal touch some sautéed shrimp. To be honest I love the salad served with a protein. I picked shrimp however you can pick whatever you want. The salad is a light dish that is often used as an appetizer in restaurants but when you add a nice piece of protein too it, you go from appetizer to entree. If you want to skip the protein you can always add some kind of bread to the dish to give some substance.
