Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, sumac, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well blended to create the dressing.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the shrimp. Season with salt and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

  4. Add the cooked shrimp to the salad and drizzle the sumac dressing over the top. Gently toss to ensure all ingredients are well coated in the dressing.

Notes

This salad is wonderfully versatile! If you want a creamier texture, a dollop of Greek yogurt makes an excellent addition.
For a spicy kick, consider adding sliced jalapeños or a pinch of chili flakes.
If shrimp isn't available, grilled chicken or tofu can be great alternatives.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days, and it will taste just as refreshing!
Enjoy your culinary creation and feel free to experiment with different toppings!
