May I ask what exactly salad shrimp is? Just fresh, small shrimp or
processed in some way?

Which reminds me. A few weeks ago we had some leftover prawns/shrimp,
I chopped them up in a blender, added some aioli, a little cayenne,
good quality cream cheese, some whole grain mustard, S&P and fresh
chopped parsley... basically a devilled shrimp spread. Very nice with
a fresh loaf of bread for sandwiches. I'll make it again with any
future leftover prawns.
