Zesty Lime Shrimp and Avocado Salad

Zesty Lime Shrimp and Avocado Salad, a light and refreshing salad that requires no cooking! Lime juice and cilantro are the key ingredients to creating this wonderful, healthy salad you’ll want to make all summer long.

Zesty Lime Shrimp and Avocado Salad

Made with shrimp and the freshest ingredients – avocados, tomatoes, red onion, cilantro and chopped jalapeño tossed with some freshly squeezed lime juice and a touch of olive oil.

This is my go-to dish to bring to all my friends’ parties, it always disappears fast even if I quadruple the recipe! It’s very similar to a ceviche, some may even argue that it is a ceviche only instead of the shrimp cooking in lime juice, I used cooked shrimp. It’s perfect for all types of diets – Whole30, Paleo, Keto, Gluten Free, Dairy Free and Pescatarian and it’s delicious.

A Few Notes

Serve this as an appetizer or light meal. You can put this over a tostada to make it more substantial.
If I’m making this for a party, I usually double or triple the recipe.
To make ahead, combine all the ingredients except for the avocado and cilantro and keep this refrigerated, then add them just before serving.
If using raw shrimp, you can roast them in the oven. To roast preheat the oven to 400F. Spray 2 large nonstick baking trays with cooking spray and add the shrimp, tossed with a little olive oil. Roast in a single layer 6 to 8 minutes or until the shrimp turns opaque. Let it cool then continue.
