Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound of large cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 ripe avocados, diced
- 1 grapefruit, segmented
- 1 orange, segmented
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- Juice of 1 lime
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Shrimp: If you haven’t cooked the shrimp yet, boil or sauté until pink and opaque. For a quicker option, use pre-cooked shrimp from your local store. Chill before adding to the salad.
- Make the Citrus Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, lemon juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper. This zesty dressing will elevate the flavors of your salad and add that perfect tang.
- Assemble the Salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked shrimp, diced avocados, citrus segments, red onion, and cilantro. Pour the dressing over the ingredients and gently toss to coat evenly. Serve immediately or chill for a refreshing cold salad.
Notes
- Use ripe avocados for creaminess and better flavor.
- To prevent browning, toss avocado pieces with a little lemon or lime juice immediately after dicing.
- Adjust citrus quantities based on your preferred level of zestiness.
