Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Season the shrimp with salt and black pepper, then add them to the skillet.
Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced mango, diced avocado, diced cucumber, chopped red onion, and chopped cilantro.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice and honey to create the dressing.
Add the cooked shrimp to the mango-avocado mixture and gently toss to combine.
Pour the lime-honey dressing over the salad and gently mix until well coated.
Place the mixed greens or arugula on a serving platter or individual plates.
Spoon the shrimp salad mixture on top of the greens.
