Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 200 grams mixed salad greens
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1 medium cucumber (sliced thinly)
- 0.25 cup red onion (thinly sliced)
- 1 large avocado (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper (freshly cracked)
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
Instructions
Rinse and pat dry the shrimp. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create a quick marinade.
Pour half of the marinade over the shrimp, ensuring they are well-coated. Reserve the remaining marinade for dressing the salad.
Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until they are pink, opaque, and cooked through. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, red onion, and avocado.
Add the cooked shrimp on top of the salad. Drizzle the reserved marinade over the salad as a dressing.
Garnish with fresh dill and orange zest for a burst of flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy this fresh, seaside-inspired salad!
