Avocado Salsa Shrimp Salad: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Lily Dawson
  • Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
– 2 ripe avocados, diced
– 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
– 1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
– 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
– 1 lime, juiced
– 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced (optional)
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Olive oil for cooking


Instructions

Creating the Avocado Salsa Shrimp Salad is straightforward. Just follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Shrimp: In a skillet, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 2–3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque.
2. Make the Salsa: While the shrimp is cooking, combine the diced avocados, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and minced jalapeño pepper in a large mixing bowl. Gently toss to combine, being careful not to mash the avocados.
3. Combine with Shrimp: Once the shrimp are cooked, allow them to cool slightly before adding them to the bowl with the salsa mixture. Toss everything together gently, ensuring that the avocado remains intact.
4. Season to Taste: Check for seasoning and adjust salt and pepper as needed. You can also add more lime juice for an extra zesty kick.
5. Chill (Optional): For the best flavors, let the salad chill in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes before serving. This step allows the flavors to meld wonderfully.
6. Serve: Serve the Avocado Salsa Shrimp Salad in bowls or on a bed of greens for a beautiful presentation.
