Shrimp, olive, and artichoke salad

The Papavore got me back.

He told me he didn’t like black beans, and I proved him wrong by making him black bean and sweet potato burritos and turkey and black bean burgers.  He adored both meals.  He, therefore, likes black beans.  Success.

I told him that I didn’t *love* shrimp.  He made me Shrimp, Olive, and Artichoke Salad.  And I could hardly stop eating the stuff.  Revenge was so delicious.  And I, therefore, *love* shrimp.
