Black Bean Shrimp Salad

“I lived in Venezuela for several years, so this Caribbean-style salad is a favorite of mine,” says Rosemarie Forcum, a field editor from White Stone, Virginia. “I came across the recipe about 10 years ago and changed it to suit my taste.”

    This was okay but not great. The seasoning combination worked well, but it seemed like it would have been better served as a hot dish instead of a salad.

    Have fixed this several times and will continue to do so. I love the combination of flavors. Very good.

    I like to add thawed frozen corn to this recipe and I also like to use small frozen salad shrimp. It's a perfect light meal! Love it.
