Step 2

Place the cooked shrimp on a cutting sheet or board and cut into smaller pieces. Add the pieces to a mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add the ingredients for the salad, mix together and season to taste with sea salt & pepper (and more lime juice if desired). Place the bowl in the refrigerator to cool for at least 30 minutes.

Add the salad to the avocado halves and enjoy. You can also enjoy the salad by itself, with mixed greens or even wheat tortilla chips.
