Ingredients
- 500 g medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 ripe avocados, diced
- 0.5 red onion, finely chopped
- 200 g cherry tomatoes, halved
- 3 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
- 3 tbsp lime juice
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes or until they turn pink and opaque. Drain immediately and transfer to a bowl of ice water to cool. Once cooled, pat the shrimp dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Toss in the cooked shrimp and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes to coat the shrimp in garlic. Remove from heat and let cool.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the diced avocados, chopped red onion, and cherry tomatoes.
Step 4
Add the cooled shrimp to the vegetables and toss gently to avoid mashing the avocado.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lime juice, salt, and black pepper.
Step 6
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro.
Step 7
Serve immediately as a light meal or appetizer. Optionally, garnish with extra lime wedges for added zest.
