I found this recipe after trying one that Jillian made which didn't have shrimp (that one had watermelon and feta and mint), but there was another one with canteloupe, cream and shrimp that was equally delicious. This one has a tangy lime dressing. We had it without arugula but it would be nice with it as well!
