Instructions
Cook the shrimp
- Fill a pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add the shrimp and cook for about three minutes until they turn pink and are cooked through.
Cool the shrimp
- Prepare an ice water bath while the shrimp are cooking. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the shrimp to the ice water to stop the cooking. Let them chill for a few minutes, then drain well.
Combine the salad
- In a large bowl, add the cooked shrimp, diced mango, avocado, celery, bell pepper, cilantro, and red onion.
Mix the dressing
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lime juice, honey, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Toss and serve
- Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients. Gently toss everything together so the shrimp and produce are coated evenly. Serve right away or keep it chilled until ready to eat. It’s refreshing, colorful, and perfect for sharing.
