Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper to coat evenly.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they are pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, avocado, parsley, and cilantro.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lime juice, lemon juice, honey, and minced garlic to create the dressing.
Once the shrimp have cooled, chop them into bite-sized pieces and add them to the salad bowl.
Drizzle the citrus dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine all ingredients evenly.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if necessary.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 hour before serving.
