Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 large cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 large mango, diced
- 0.5 medium red onion, thinly sliced

Instructions
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque. Drain and transfer the shrimp to an ice bath to cool. Once cooled, pat the shrimp dry and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Add the cucumber slices, diced mango, red onion, and cilantro to a large mixing bowl.
If using avocado, gently fold the cubed avocado into the salad ingredients to avoid breaking.
Add the cooked shrimp to the salad and pour the dressing over the top.
Toss the salad gently to combine, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy chilled.
