This is an easy and tasty mix. I barbaqued the corn which added a nice flavor. We enjoyed the backyard sun while tasting garlic and shrimp. I did add extra garlic to the mayo. Really easy and tasty.

Excellent combination of favors! The salad pairs beautifully with the sandwich. I used a mixed leaf lettuce, but followed rest of the directions exactly. Refreshing hot day dinner.
