Shrimp Paella Salad

Shrimp Paella Salad
Recipe Tip
Fiber Up with Peas
Peas and beans are loaded with plenty of soluble fiber. Start slowly so you have time to get used to added fiber in the diet.
Success
Depending on the saltiness of the bacon, you may need to add 1/4 teaspoon salt to the salad.
Do-Ahead
Prepare the salad up to a day ahead of time, and store covered in the refrigerator.

red pepper sauce?
Is red pepper sauce the same as hot sauce, like Tobasco in the bottle?

What a great recipe! Easy to fix and everyone loved it. I used brown rice instead of white. It's good hot or cold.

This is a "must try" recipe, and it is very easy to make. My husband and kids loved it.
