 Directions for this easy healthy recipe:

  • If you are using frozen shrimps: In a large pan, cook shrimps! (Don’t eat them all after because this is what my kids do). Drain the water .
  • 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.
  • Peel the avocado and dice it!
  • In a large bowl, add avocado and lemon juice.
  • Shred the onion.
  • Add shrimps, onion, tomato and pepper and top with coriander.
  • Add salt and pepper and mix all together.
  • Serve in single cups for better presentation.
  • Decorate with shrimps and coriander leaves.

This easy healthy recipe makes the perfect start to an amazing meal. Serve it with some delicious garlic bread and it works great as a light lunch too. What do you think of this delicious avocado & shrimp salad recipe? Do you have another favorite way to enjoy shrimp?

    Sounds interesting. Both are not my favorite foods, but I seem to be the only one. Might be a nice option for our next dinner together though.

    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.
