This recipe was posted originally in March 2004 by “DawnMoe”. Though I’m not sure what kind of name that is, this Moroccan Shrimp Salad has some exotic yet tasty ingredients.
She writes that the recipe “looks really good and you use the flax seeds in the dressing. I also love the moroccan preserved lemon it adds alot of flavor. You only use the peel not the pulp so I am not sure of the carb count in the peel.”
My comments: Flax Seed is good for the brain, and helps to actually lower cholesterol, reduce blood pressure, and lower your triglicerides. It’s an all-around winner for anyone on the Atkins Diet.
Also, if you don’t eat shrimp, consider substituting Monk fish (tastes like lobster) or red snapper (which I use in Ceviche).
