Ingredients

1/2 pound shrimp (medium, pre-cooked shrimp)
2 tomatoes
1 romaine lettuce (heart, torn into pieces; or iceberg lettuce)
3 tablespoons avocado oil mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1 clove garlic (finely minced or pressed)
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon dill (dry or finely chopped fresh dill)
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
1/2 teaspoon water

Yield: 4 Servings | Prep time: 15 minutes |

Instructions

1. Put pre-cooked shrimp in a large bowl and add cold water, let it thaw for about 10-15 minutes until no longer frozen. Drain and pat dry with paper towel, to avoid making the dressing watery. If using raw shrimp, simply heat a pan with a bit of oil over medium heat, add defrosted shrimp, and sauté for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque.
2. Prepare shrimp salad dressing. In a small bowl, combine dressing ingredients: mayo, lemon juice, olive oil, vinegar, garlic, pepper, dill, hot sauce and water. Stir well.

Quick, Easy, Tastes Great

Guest

This salad was super easy and tasted so fresh. I sauteed the shrimp but grilling would be great, too. I let them cool for a bit and tossed the whole business together. I've found a new staple for busy weeknights or a quick Sunday lunch!

Sounds just awesome! Thanks for sharing your review! - Alena
