Ingredients
  

Salad Ingredients
  • 1 pound cooked jumbo shrimp peeled and chopped
  • 0.25 cup red onion chopped
  • 1 tomato diced
  • 1 avocado diced
Zesty Lime Dressing
  • 1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 lime juiced (about 2 tbsp)
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • 0.125 tsp black pepper

Equipment

  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Cutting Board
  • Chef's Knife
  • Citrus Juicer

Method
 

  1. Ensure your cooked shrimp are fully thawed if using frozen. Remove tails and chop the shrimp into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, chopped red onion, diced tomato, and diced avocado.
  3. In a small separate bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, fresh lime juice, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Pour the lime dressing over the shrimp and vegetable mixture.
  5. Gently toss everything together until evenly coated, being careful not to mash the avocado.
  6. Let the salad rest for 10-15 minutes in the refrigerator to allow flavors to meld, then serve immediately.

Notes

Serve with tortilla chips, over a bed of greens, or inside lettuce wraps for a low-carb option. To prevent avocado from browning if storing leftovers, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the salad.
