Grilled Shrimp and Idaho® Potato Salad

Summer is right around the corner and I could not be more excited to fire up the grill. Grilling is a real crowd pleaser in this house because The Hubs loves to grill slabs of meat, and I love to grill fish and veggies. There’s actually no limit to the things you can grill if you just let your imagination run wild. I’ve grilled everything from salad, to avocados, to even dessert.

I’m kicking off my 2015 grilling season with this super light and fresh grilled Idaho® potato and shrimp salad. It’s great served either hot or cold, and is a picnic must have.
