Steps
Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly-sized cubes.
Place them in a pot with plenty of salted water and boil them until they are tender but still firm.
Check the cooking with the tip of a knife: if it goes in easily, the potatoes are ready. Drain them and let them cool down.
Blanch the frozen shrimp, drain them and cool them under cold water.
Drain the chickpeas and rinse them under running water to remove any residues.
In a large bowl, combine the chickpeas, shrimp, potatoes, and chopped mint.
Season with extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, and salt, then mix everything gently, being careful not to break the chickpeas or potatoes.
Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and let the salad rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This will help the flavors blend and enrich the taste of the salad.
Transfer the chickpea, shrimp, and potato salad to a serving plate or into individual bowls and serve as an appetizer or a light main course.
