The vibrant colored salad, featuring pink shrimps settled on a bed of green mixed veggies, pops beautifully against a background of the black plate. The juicy red mango and creamy avocado chunks are sprinkled around, and a drizzling of the shiny, reddish-brown dressing makes the dish vibrant and tempting. A sprinkle of sesame seeds on top adds a touch of sophistication.
