Ingredients
- – 1 pound (450g) large cooked shrimp, thawed
- – 2 cups (480ml) shredded lettuce
- – 1/4 red onion, diced
- – 2 avocados, sliced
- – 1 tablespoon (15 ml) chopped cilantro
- – 3 tablespoons (45ml) vegetable oil
- – 3 tablespoons (45ml) lime juice
- – 1 teaspoon (5 ml) cumin
- – 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) salt
- – 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) fresh cracked pepper
Instructions
- To defrost the shrimp that has been previously cooked, either rinse it under cold water for 5-10 minutes until thawed or place it in a covered dish in the refrigerator to defrost overnight. Once thawed, remove any remaining water and gently dry with paper towels.
- For the dressing, take a bowl that can accommodate all the salad components. Blend the vegetable oil, lime juice, cumin, salt, and pepper together until they are well mixed.
- Place the thawed shrimp into the bowl containing the dressing. Mix in the shredded lettuce and diced red onion to coat them with the dressing.
- Arrange the sliced avocados around the shrimp, and sprinkle with chopped cilantro as a garnish.
- Enjoy the salad either chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- For a lighter option, try using grilled shrimp instead of cooked shrimp.
- Enhance the flavor by drizzling fresh lime juice over the avocado slices.
- Incorporate additional freshness by adding parsley or mint to the salad.
