Instructions

Fill a saucepan with water and bring it to a boil. Add the shrimp and cook for 1 minute, or until they turn pink and are cooked through. Drain the shrimp and set them aside.
Next, prepare the dressing by combining minced garlic, ketchup, sugar, and olive oil in a small bowl. Whisk well until the sugar is completely dissolved, and set aside.
In a salad bowl, combine the shrimp, tomato, cucumber, and dressing. Toss to mix well. Transfer the salad to a plate and serve immediately, garnished with scallions on top.

Notes

To achieve a crispy and succulent texture, make sure not to overcook the shrimp. Cook them until they just turn pink and are cooked through.

Use fresh juicy tomatoes and cucumbers. They will add a burst of flavor and color to the salad.

To maintain a nice crunchy texture, toss the ingredients with the dressing just before serving. Avoid making the salad ahead of time, as it may become watery and soggy over time.
