Shrimp Avocado Salad

Ingredients

• 1 lb. shrimp thawed, drained and patted dry with paper towel
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1.5 avocados diced
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1-2 tablespoon red onions small diced
• 1 tablespoon fresh chopped cilantro

Dressing

• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 3 tablespoons fresh-squeezed lime juice
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Fresh cracked pepper

Instructions

• To cook the shrimp, heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the shrimp, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook until the shrimp is opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
• To make the dressing, use a bowl large enough to hold all the ingredients. Whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, cumin and salt.
• Transfer the cooked shrimp on top of the dressing, add the avocados, red onions and cilantro. Gently combine all the ingredients with the dressing in the bowl.
• Serve at room temperature or chilled on its own or with butter lettuce.

Notes

Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last about 2 days in the fridge. But it's best to enjoy it within 24 hours since the avocados will slightly brown the next day.

Make Ahead Tips: You can make the dressing up to 2 weeks in advance and have it on hand ready to toss when you make the salad. You can also made pre-cooked shrimp and toss it in the salad instead of cooking it on your own.

Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. However if you're not a fan of red onions, you can try green onions or skip them all together. Also, if you prefer not to use cumin in the dressing, try paprika or coriander.
