Shrimp Salad with Tartar Dressing
The combination of flavors in this salad is reminiscent of the popcorn shrimp with tartar sauce that you might get at a seaside restaurant. The shrimp are juicy and lemony, the dressing is creamy, herby, and has just the right amount of sweetness and tang, and the pan fried panko topping gives this salad popcorn shrimp vibes.
