Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 6 cups mixed salad greens
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1 cup cucumber (sliced)
- 1 avocado (sliced)
- 0.25 cup red onion (thinly sliced)
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well coated.
Spread the shrimp evenly on the prepared baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until pink and fully cooked.
While the shrimp is roasting, prepare the salad base. In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, avocado slices, and red onion.
Make the lemon vinaigrette by whisking together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and honey in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Once the shrimp are done roasting, allow them to cool slightly before adding them to the salad.
Drizzle the lemon vinaigrette over the salad and gently toss to combine.
Serve immediately and enjoy your roasted shrimp salad!
