Creamy Shrimp Avocado Salad

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add shrimp, sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and sauté until cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and let cool.
2. In a large bowl, combine the diced avocados, red onion, and cilantro.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and lime juice until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Add the cooked shrimp to the avocado mixture.
5. Gently fold in the dressing, making sure all ingredients are well coated.
6. Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Chef’s Tips

• For extra flavor, grill or broil the shrimp instead of sautéing.
• Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the dressing for a spicy kick.
• Use ripe avocados for the best creamy texture.
