I chopped the cabbage a little courser (so, not shredded in the food-processor) and that tasted better with the shrimp. Smaller and less shrimp are more appealing to my family for this salad – they don’t like all of the shrimp flavor in each bite. Also, you can be generous with the bacon. Any veggies would be good here; the uniqueness of this recipe is the bacon combined with the smokey-seasoned shrimp and red palm oil.
