Shrimp Avocado Salad Recipe

Place shrimp in a medium bowl, sprinkle with 1 tsp cajun spice, 2 pressed garlic cloves and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine.

Heat a large non-stick pan over medium high heat. Swirl in 2 Tbsp butter. Once butter stops sizzling, add shrimp in a single layer and sauté about 2 minutes without disturbing. Flip shrimp over and sauté another minute or just until fully cooked through. Don’t overcook shrimp or they can become rubbery. Remove to a plate and set aside to cool.

Chop, rinse and spin dry your romaine lettuce. Line the bottom of a large salad platter/bowl with 5 to 6 cups of chopped romaine lettuce. Add remaining ingredients in rows over the top of your romaine: chopped tomatoes, sliced red onion, sliced cucumber, cajun shrimp, avocado, and boiled or grilled corn.

To make the dressing, in a small bowl, whisk together 3 Tbsp olive oil, 3 Tbsp lemon juice, 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, 1 tsp sea salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper.

Drizzle dressing over the shrimp avocado salad then toss to combine and serve.
