We found a lot of salad recipes for this week! That's exciting :)
This was a very different type of salad, oddly enough the arugula, which is often bitter went really well with the lemony potatoes.
This was fairly quick and easy to make. We did not grill, as we have a fairly large grill and didn't want to start it up for just a few potatoes and shrimp. We steamed the potatoes in a steamer, lining it with foil and still putting the olive oil, salt and pepper on them. We also just fried the shrimp, and that turned out quite well. The recipe could benefit from some bacon as it does really seem like it's missing something. Instead of fingerling potatoes, we just used red and yellow baby potatoes.
