Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the shrimp, olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly in the seasoning.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
While the shrimp cool, prepare the salad base by arranging the salad greens on a large platter or in individual serving bowls.
Top the greens with diced mango, pineapple, sliced avocado, red bell pepper, and red onion. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro for a burst of freshness.
In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, honey, and chili flakes (if using) to create the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad, then arrange the cooked shrimp on top.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Tropical Shrimp Salad!
