Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound large shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 4 cups mixed greens
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • 1/4 cup red onion thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Cook the shrimp: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and then the shrimp, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and opaque.
  2. Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro. Toss gently to mix the ingredients without bruising the greens.
  4. Add avocado: Gently fold in the sliced avocado, being careful not to mash it. The avocado should remain intact for texture and creaminess.
  5. Combine: Top the salad with the cooked shrimp and drizzle with the prepared dressing. Toss lightly to combine all elements more evenly.
  6. Serve: Divide into serving bowls and enjoy immediately for the best taste and texture.
