If using pre-cooked frozen shrimp, you'll want to thaw them before assembling this salad.

To thaw frozen shrimp, you can place them in the refrigerator the night before using, or place the frozen shrimp in a small colander and run cold water over them until thawed - which should take about 10 - 15 minutes.
