Ingredients
- 500 grams medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1 piece cucumber, diced
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 piece avocado, diced

Instructions
Bring a medium-sized pot of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Add the shrimp to the boiling water and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and are fully opaque. Do not overcook.
Drain the shrimp and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let cool for 2-3 minutes, then drain again and pat dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined to create a zesty dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, and diced avocado.
Add the cooked shrimp to the salad and gently toss to combine.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss again until the ingredients are evenly coated.
Transfer the shrimp salad to serving plates or a large serving bowl. Garnish with chopped fresh dill, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Shrimp Salad Surprise!
