Ingredients

  • 1 lb cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 ripe avocados, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cucumber, chopped
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: jalapeño slices
  • Optional: crumbled feta
  • Optional: lettuce or mixed greens

Instructions

  1. If using raw shrimp, cook them in a skillet with olive oil over medium heat until pink and opaque. Let cool.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked shrimp, diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and chopped cilantro.
  4. Pour the lime dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss to combine.
  5. Serve immediately, or chill in the fridge for 10–15 minutes for extra freshness.

Notes

  • Add corn, black beans, or bell peppers for extra texture and flavor.
  • Serve over greens or in lettuce cups for a low-carb option.
  • Turn into tacos or tostadas with cotija cheese for a twist.
  • Use grilled shrimp for a smoky flavor.
  • Best eaten fresh; avocado may brown if stored too long.
