MEDITERRANEAN SHRIMP SALAD

Steps:

• Prepare your Shrimp- I know that shrimp can come in a can, but please do not use canned shrimp for this salad. I buy fresh shrimp right at the Seafood counter of my local grocery and in this case, to make it easy, buy the peeled and deveined shrimp. Toss a little bit of olive oil and about a 1/2 a tablespoon of butter right in your pan and saute your shrimp till cooked. The shrimp turn the glossy uncooked color to white once ready. Do not overcook. My shrimp took approximately 6 minutes to saute. [mv_img id="7412"]
• Put shrimp in fridge to cool down
• Chop your veggies - First you need to peel your avocados and then chop down your avocados and tomatoes into bites. You can really adjust the level of bite you like to tiny bits or large chunks. I like to change it up depending on what I am serving this salad for. If its a side salad, i like the smaller bits of veggies but if I am serving as a meal, I like bigger bites[mv_img id="7413"]
• Pull your shrimp out of fridge and remove tails. You can easily slide tails off if you pay attention with how they are on and this reserves a lot of shrimp meat. If you cut the tales off, you are missing extra shrimp. It doesn't take too long to take the tails off, just a few extra minutes.
• Chop your shrimp down into bites, I usually cut each shrimp into 3 pieces[mv_img id="7414"]
• In a separate bowl, add your lemon juice, olive oil and spices
• Combine your veggies and shrimp into one bowl
• Pour your olive oil mixture of your salad and stir
• Add optional fresh cilantro- I would not add dried herbs to this salad
• Season with salt and pepper[mv_img id="7415"]
