Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 2 large Avocado
- 6 cups Mixed salad greens
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 large Ripe mango
- 1 large Lime (juice)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro (optional, chopped)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning mixture over the shrimp to coat them evenly.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and fully cooked. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
While the shrimp cool, prepare the salad base by slicing the avocado into cubes, halving the cherry tomatoes, and thinly slicing the cucumber. In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, avocado, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber.
For the mango dressing, peel and dice the mango. Place it in a blender along with the lime juice, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed.
Drizzle the mango dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat. Top the salad with the cooked shrimp and garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing Shrimp Avocado Salad with Mango Dressing!
