Calypso Shrimp with Black Bean-Citrus Salsa

Iron Intake

Black beans are a source of iron. Mix beans with a complete protein like shrimp and get plenty of iron. Iron helps build red blood cells to carry oxygen through the body.

Do-Ahead

To make this salad ahead of time; cover and refrigerate the cooked shrimp separately from the salsa. Just before serving, arrange on plates.

This is great! I've seen the recipe before, somewhere else. I cut the ingredients in half, since I cook only for myself; ate one portion and refrigerated the other for a second meal. It is very good, and I added brown rice to round out the meal. Thanks!
