Avocado Shrimp Salad Recipe
Start any meal with Avocado Shrimp Salad from Patricia Collins of Imbler, Oregon. Patricia made a delightful cilantro-lime dressing that lightly coats the romaine, avocado and shrimp. The tart dressing has a bit of a jalapeno kick, but feel free to cut back on the peppers, if necessary.
This recipe is:
Quick
Prep/Total Time: 20 min.
Yield: 4 Servings
Ingredients
1/2 cup olive oil
1/3 cup lime juice
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
3 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
3 tablespoons white vinegar
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
2 tablespoons finely chopped seeded jalapeno pepper
1-1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
6 cups torn romaine
1/2 pound cooked small shrimp
1 medium ripe avocado, peeled and sliced
Directions
In a small bowl, whisk the first 10 ingredients. Divide romaine among four plates; top with shrimp and avocado. Drizzle with dressing. Yield: 4 servings.
Editor's Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
