Mediterranean Creamy Shrimp and Avocado Salad
Prep time: 15 mins | Cook time: 5 mins | Servings: 4
Ingredients
1 lb large shrimp, peeled, deveined, and cooked
2 ripe avocados, diced
1/2 small red onion, finely diced
1/4 cup fresh parsley or cilantro, finely chopped
1/3 cup Greek yogurt or healthy mayonnaise (for dressing base)
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
Prep Shrimp & Veggies: If using fresh uncooked shrimp, boil or pan-sear in a skillet for 3–4 minutes until pink and cooked through, then let cool completely. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked shrimp, diced avocado, diced red onion, and fresh chopped parsley.
Make Creamy Dressing: In a separate small bowl or squeeze bottle, whisk together the Greek yogurt (or mayo), fresh lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Combine & Dress: Drizzle the creamy lemon dressing over the bowl of shrimp and avocado.
Toss & Serve: Gently fold the salad together so everything is evenly coated without crushing the avocado. Garnish with extra fresh parsley and serve chilled with lemon wedges on the side.
