Blackened Shrimp Kale Salad

I'm one of those people that truly enjoys a salad...especially ones made with dark leafy greens (because they are good for you AND they absorb allll the dressing) flavorful toppings and yummy dressings, so this blackened shrimp salad recipe did not disappoint! **Bonus - it's Whole30, Paleo and Keto friendly!

Whenever I have leftovers - they tend to end up repurposed on a bed of lettuce (a.k.a salad) or in a stir fry of some sort. Many times, they are my favorite meals! This happened to be one of those recipes - the veggies were all leftover from dinners earlier in the week, so I just cooked up the shrimp. It's perfect for lunch or dinner, and can be made in bulk so you have additional meals for later in the week.

Im all about easy and efficient!
