Zesty Lime Shrimp and Avocado Salad
Ingredients:
1 pound cooked, peeled, and chopped jumbo shrimp
¼ cup chopped red onion
1 diced tomato
1 diced avocado
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
Juice of 1 lime
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
1 finely diced, de-seeded jalapeño
Instructions:
- Prepare the Dressing
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped red onion, fresh lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes. This allows the onions to slightly pickle, reducing their sharpness and infusing the dressing with flavor.
- Assemble the Salad
In a separate bowl, toss the cooked shrimp with the diced avocado, finely diced jalapeño, and diced tomato.
- Combine Everything
Add the shrimp, avocado, and vegetable mixture into the bowl with the lime dressing.
Sprinkle the chopped cilantro on top and gently toss everything together, being careful not to mash the avocado.
- Adjust Seasoning
Taste the salad and add more salt or pepper if needed.
- Serve and Enjoy
Serve immediately as a standalone salad, a refreshing appetizer, or as a filling for tacos or lettuce wraps.
