Instructions
Creating the Easy Shrimp Avocado Salad with Tomatoes is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Shrimp: If using frozen shrimp, thaw them under cold water and pat dry. If using fresh shrimp, cook them in a pan over medium heat until pink and opaque, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
2. Chop the Vegetables: Dice the avocado, cucumber, and red onion. Halve the cherry tomatoes.
3. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooked shrimp, diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, chopped red onion, diced cucumber, and corn.
4. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined.
5. Dress the Salad: Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss to coat everything evenly without mashing the avocado.
6. Adjust Seasonings: Taste and add more lime juice, salt, or pepper as needed to suit your preferences.
7. Garnish: Sprinkle the chopped cilantro on top for a fresh touch.
8. Chill (Optional): For enhanced flavors, you can chill the salad for 10-15 minutes before serving.
9. Serve: Serve the salad in individual bowls or a large serving dish.
