Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 lb (8 oz) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking shrimp)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 medium ripe avocado, diced
  • 1 1/2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced (optional)

  • 1 teaspoon honey or agave (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the shrimp by heating a tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly season the shrimp with salt and pepper and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque. Once done, set aside to cool.
  2. Prepare your veggies by placing diced avocado and halved cherry tomatoes in a large mixing bowl. If using, add red onion and cilantro at this stage.
  3. Make the dressing by whisking together olive oil, lime juice, honey (if using), Dijon mustard, and minced garlic in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Combine the dressing with the chopped ingredients and gently toss until well coated.
  5. Add the cooked shrimp to the bowl and gently toss again, adjusting seasoning if necessary.
  6. Serve in a chilled bowl, optionally garnishing with a wedge of lime and fresh herbs.

Notes

This salad is best enjoyed fresh, but can be made in advance. Add avocado and dressing just before serving to maintain freshness.
