Citrus Shrimp and Avocado Salad image

This simple but totally flavorful shrimp salad makes the perfect meal-prep meal for lunch or dinner thanks to pan-seared citrus-flavored shrimp, creamy avocado, and the crunch of sliced almonds.

Provided by Heidi

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound medium Pan-Seared Citrus Shrimp
8 cups greens (, (such as arugula, spinach, or spring mix))
Fruity or lemon-flavored extra virgin olive oil
Juice of 1/2 lemon or 1/2 orange
1 avocado (, sliced or diced)
1 shallot (, minced)
4 ounces sliced almonds (, toasted)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare the recipe for the Pan-Seared Citrus Shrimp, or gently warm the leftover shrimp. Or, if you prefer, serve the shrimp chilled.
  • Toss the shrimp with the salad greens in a large bowl.
  • Lightly drizzle with olive oil, and if desired, some of the sauce remaining from the shrimp with a generous squeeze of citrus, and toss lightly to coat.
  • Add the avocado, shallots and sliced almonds and then season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper and serve.

Spicy Shrimp and Avocado Salad image

Provided by Food Network

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 pounds large frozen shrimp, thawed, shelled and deveined
1 head romaine lettuce, washed and drained
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh chives
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon chopped jalapenos or a pinch cayenne, optional
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 cup olive oil
1 small shallot, minced
1 small ripe Haas avocado, peeled, pitted and cubed just before cooking
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Dice the romaine into bite sized pieces, place in large salad bowl and set aside. In a medium non-stick pan heat the olive oil. Add the avocado and saute for 5 minutes. Remove the avocado with a slotted spoon and set aside in a bowl. Pour out all but 2 tablespoons of avocado oil into a small bowl, and reserve.
  • Add the minced shallot to the skillet and return to medium heat. Cook, stirring until shallots begin to soften (about 30 seconds). Add the shrimp, salt and pepper and jalapenos or cayenne, if using, and saute until shrimp are cooked through (3-4 minutes).
  • Remove from heat and spoon the shrimp into the bowl with the Avocado pieces. Add the chives and cilantro and fold together gently, just to combine the ingredients. With a rubber spatula, scrape any remaining oil in the skillet into the bowl with the reserved avocado oil. Whisk in the lime juice and salt and pepper to taste to make a dressing. Toss some of the dressing with the romaine until the lettuce is nicely coated, divide among serving plates. Top the lettuce with hot shrimp mixture, drizzle with additional dressing, garnish with cilantro and serve.

SPICY SHRIMP AVOCADO SALAD



Spicy Shrimp Avocado Salad image

I found this recipe on the California Avocado Commission's website. It is a spicy, refreshing salad that can serve 3 as an entree. It can serve 6 as a compliment to any mexican meal. Preparation time does not include the chill time for the salsa. This salsa is a real keeper! Use it for chips, eggs, tacos, steaks, burgers... It is worth saving this recipe for the salsa alone!
