Ingredients
Ingredients in Mango Avocado Shrimp Salad
- 4 cups spring mix
- 1 ½ cups thawed frozen shrimp (peeled and deveined) - I used small wild pink shrimp
- ½ tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp chili powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ cup diced avocado
- ⅓ cup diced mango
- ⅛ cup diced red onion
- ½ cup thinly sliced red bell pepper
- 3 tbsp sliced almonds
Ingredients in Peanut Lime Dressing
- 3 tbsp creamy natural peanut butter
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice - the juice of about 2 limes
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp coconut aminos
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- desired amount of sesame seeds to sprinkle on top of the salad
Instructions
- First, make the dressing for the salad. Whisk together all ingredients for the Peanut Lime Dressing in a small bowl until combined. Set aside.
- Secondly, assemble all ingredients for the salad. Place the spring mix, avocado, mango, red onion, red bell pepper and almonds in a large bowl. Set aside.
- Then, thaw the frozen shrimp. Take the shrimp out of the package and put them into a bowl in the sink. Run cold water over the shrimp for about 4-5 minutes. When the shrimp are soft and no longer frozen, they are thawed. Place the shrimp onto a paper towel and pat them dry to remove the water.
- Now, place the shrimp into a clean bowl and add in the garlic powder, chili powder, salt and pepper. Toss until the shrimp are coated in the spices.
- Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Place the shrimp in the pan and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side. The shrimp will turn pink when cooked through.
- Remove the shrimp from the pan and add them on top of the salad mixture. Drizzle the dressing on top, sprinkle with sesame seeds, toss and enjoy!
