Salad with basmati and shrimp

Unusual salad with spicy crumbly rice and pickled shrimp. It's delicious and unusual. Basmati rice itself is quite fragrant, and cooked with spices becomes very special in taste. In addition, pickled shrimp are ideal for it, as well as a dressing of olive oil, cilantro and lime zest. The dressing, by the way, I often use for other salads. Try it!
