Ingredients

For the Salad:

1 lb large shrimp, peeled/deveined
1 large ripe mango, diced
2 ripe avocados, cubed
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
4 cups mixed baby greens

For the Dressing:

3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 tbsp honey
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation Steps

01. Season shrimp with salt, pepper, and a pinch of chili powder. Sauté in a pan over medium heat for 3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Set aside.
02. Whisk the olive oil, lime juice, honey, and cilantro in a small bowl to create a smooth, emulsified dressing.
03. In a large mixing bowl, combine greens, mango, avocado, and red onion. Drizzle with half the dressing and toss gently.
04. Top the salad with warm shrimp and serve immediately with the remaining dressing on the side.

Stewart's Secret: To prevent the avocado from browning, toss the cubes in lime juice before adding them to the salad. It preserves the vibrant green color and adds an extra layer of brightness.
