This easy Shrimp and avocado salad makes a fun presentation on top of the avocado halves, or you can just slice up the avocado and add it to the shrimp and serve on lettuce. Avocados are incredibly nutrient dense with over 20 vitamins in minerals packed inside that lovely green skin.
This looks best with small shrimp, for this recipe. If you have larger shrimp, cut them into halves or thirds.
