I found this on skinnytaste.com and had it in my Pinterest posts a couple of times, so obviously it looked good every time I saw it. Pin it. Pin it, again. I finally made it for super bowl Sunday. It was a great way to balance out the abundance of chicken wings, meatballs, buffalo chicken, stromboli, etc, etc, etc. It was a fan favorite! I doubled it for the crowd.
Zesty Lime Shrimp and Avocado Salad
1 lb shrimp, cooked and cut up in half or thirds, depending on size
1 large avocado, diced
1 jalapeno, diced small, seeds and most of the ribs removed
1/4 c. red onion, diced
1 medium tomato diced (I used cherry tomatoes halved instead)
diced cucumber (this wasn't is the original recipe, but I think it was a good addition)
juice of 2 limes
1 t. olive oil
1/4 t. kosher salt ( used more for my taste)
chopped cilantro (recipe called for 1 T. but, really?!? I used more like 3 or 4 T.)
Put the red onion in a bowl and add the oil and lime juice and let it sit for at least 5 minutes to mellow out the onion.
Once the onion is done bathing, add the shrimp, jalapeno, tomato, cucumber, salt, cilantro, and avocado.
(Hold off on the avocado if you are making this a bit ahead of time to save it from browning. I added this before the party and tossed it in more lime juice to try to keep it fresh looking longer.)
