Directions
- Toss the Zesty Shrimp: In a medium bowl, combine cooked shrimp, lime juice, olive oil, chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper. Let the shrimp marinate for 10 minutes to infuse bright, citrusy flavor throughout.
- Prep the Salad Base: In a large salad bowl, layer arugula, thinly sliced red onion, and avocado slices. The vibrant colors and creamy avocado create a beautiful, fresh base that’s as pretty as it is tasty.
- Assemble the Salad: Spoon the marinated shrimp on top of the greens and avocado. Drizzle any leftover marinade from the shrimp over the salad to maximize flavor in every bite.
- Garnish & Spice It Up: Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and add thinly sliced red chili if you like a little heat. Finish with extra chopped cilantro for fresh herb brightness.
- Serve Immediately: This salad is best served chilled and crisp. Pair it with tortilla chips for a fun appetizer twist, or enjoy as a light, refreshing lunch or dinner.
