Zesty Lime Shrimp and Avocado Salad

Zesty Lime Shrimp and Avocado Salad

This week, after the wedding we catered this weekend, Craig and I decided to "clean out" the pantry and freezer. First up a bag of shrimp...... So I decided to make a shrimp salad.  I found this recipe and adjusted it a bit, and it was delicious. 

Zesty Lime Shrimp and Avocado Salad

Ingredients: 

1/4 cup chopped red onion (3-4 slices)

2 limes, juice

1 tsp olive oil

kosher salt, black pepper to taste

1 lb jumbo cooked, peeled shrimp, chopped* (16/20)

1/2 red pepper, diced

1 medium hass avocado, diced (about 5 oz)

1 jalapeno, seeds removed, diced fine

1 tbsp chopped cilantro

Directions:

In a small bowl combine red onion, lime juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Let them marinate at least 5 minutes to mellow the flavor of the onion.

In a large bowl combine chopped shrimp, avocado, red pepper, jalapeño. Combine all the ingredients together, add cilantro and gently toss. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
