The beauty of Shrimp with Avocado Salad lies in contrast, the crisp bite of shrimp against the creamy avocado, the tang of lime with the natural sweetness of tomatoes. Every element is intentional, working in harmony to create a dish that’s both light and satisfying.

A sprinkle of sea salt or microgreens just before serving gives it a restaurant finish without the effort.

For the best results, serve it warm, when the shrimp are still perfectly crisp and the avocado salad is cool and fresh.
