Directions for this easy healthy recipe:

- If you are using fresh shrimps: in a large bowl, cook them for 10 to 15 minutes! Drain from water and clean! I don’t like cooking fresh shrimps because it smells so bad after.

You speak my language. Avacado and Shrimp. Cannot go wrong! 🙂
Never been a fan of avocado, but this recipe is intriguing!
What a great recipe idea. I never put avocado in a salad as of yet. Need to get on that.
I love avocado but I wouldn’t have thought to have it with shrimp. This sounds good to me! I usually just cook shrimp in butter and garlic.
I’ve not heard of this combination before. I have a brother that would absolutely love it.
