Ingredients

1 lb (450g) shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 cups mixed salad greens
1 avocado, sliced
1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup cucumber, sliced
1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish (optional)

For the Lemon-Lime Dressing:

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

In a medium-sized pot, bring water to a boil. Add the shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook. Drain the shrimp and let them cool.
In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
Add the cooked shrimp to the salad bowl and drizzle the lemon-lime dressing over the ingredients. Toss gently to combine, ensuring the salad is evenly coated with the dressing.
Divide the salad into two serving bowls or plates. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves if desired.
