Well, I am here to help you bring that crave-worthy Avocado Citrus Shrimp Salad to your home in under 10 minutes!

 

Avocado Fries

Of course, our most important ingredient is the avocado!  Slice up an entire avocado for this recipe.  The more the merrier!

 

Next, take your pre-cooked shrimp and toss with olive oil, lemon and fresh parsley and set aside

 

Place your greens in a large bowl and drizzle with your favorite citrus vinaigrette and toss to coat

 

Top the greens with the avocado, shrimp and pumpkin seeds and toss!  So delish and fresh!

 

Serve it with a few extra slices of lemon to squeeze over the dish right before enjoying.  

Pair it with our Margarita Sparkling Wine Cocktail for a little extra fun!

Let’s make it together!
