Baked shrimp have a more intense and rich flavor than regular boiled shrimp, making them a wonderful salad. Bake large shrimp in the oven, and when they've cooled, simply toss them with capers and red onions in a mayonnaise-based dressing with orange zest, red wine vinegar, and dill. The flavor is refreshing, with a slight tartness and hints of citrus. Let the salad sit before serving to allow the juices and flavors to meld. Perfect as an appetizer with wine.
