Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Jumbo Shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 2 Large Ripe Avocados cubed
  • 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes halved
  • 1/4 cup Red Onion finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro or Parsley chopped
  • 2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 Lime juiced
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
To taste:
  • Salt
  • Black Pepper
  • Paprika
  • Red Chili Flakes

Method
 

  1. Sauté Shrimp: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet. Season shrimp and sauté for 2–3 minutes per side until pink. Remove and let cool.
  2. Whisk Dressing: In a small bowl, combine the remaining olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
  3. Combine: In a large bowl, add cubed avocado, tomatoes, red onion, and cooled shrimp.
  4. Toss: Pour dressing over the salad and toss gently.
  5. Garnish: Top with fresh herbs and serve.

Notes

  • For the best texture, ensure the shrimp are fully cooled before tossing with the avocado to prevent the avocado from softening.
  • If prepping for later, store the dressing in a separate container and slice the avocado just before serving to prevent browning.
