Shrimp, Artichoke and Wild Rice Salad

I have been making this for years and change the meat to what I have at the time. In the beginning I didn't use meat at all, just the rice and artichoke. Then in order to make it a main dish salad I started adding different meats, chunks of chicken, crab meat,turkey and shrimp. They are all wonderful but shrimp is my favorite.
