This refreshing Shrimp Avocado Salad combines succulent shrimp, creamy avocado, and the zing of lime for a perfect meal or side dish.
Ingredients
large shrimp
avocado
red onions
extra virgin olive oil
lime juice
cumin
salt
pepper
Instructions
- If using raw shrimp, steam them until cooked, then allow to cool. If pre-cooked, simply thaw if frozen.
- Cut ripe but firm avocado into bite-sized pieces and add them to a mixing bowl.
- Finely chop the red onion and add it to the bowl. If desired, let the onion sit in the dressing for 5 minutes first.
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, cumin, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
- Add the shrimp to the bowl with avocado and onion, then drizzle with the dressing and toss gently to combine.
- Serve immediately for the best texture, garnishing with extra lime if desired.
Notes
Serve this salad immediately to prevent the avocado from browning. You can adjust the seasoning to your taste.
