Yea definitely add some protein to it. I just left it blank because i figured it would act as a good base.

When i do shrimp i just sautee them in red thai chili paste and some garlic and then add them on top of the salad. I have never tried letting them marinate in the dressing.. i will definitely have to though.

Warm chicken is definitely good on this salad though with some toasted sesame seeds.
