Ingredients

Servings

For the shrimps:

  • 2 lbs Shrimp thawed and uncooked, fresh or frozen
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 lime juiced
  • 1/4 cup cilantro minced
  • 1/4 cup parsley minced
  • 1 pinch chili flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the dressing:

  • 1 small avocado
  • 1 tablespoon scallion minced
  • 1 tablespoon cilantro minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 lime juiced
  • 1 tablespoon sour cream (optional, omit for vegan)
  • 2 tablespoons water (more or less depending on the consistency of your choice)

For the salad:

  • 2 cups spinach fresh leaves
  • 1 large tomato diced
  • 1/2 cup black beans canned
  • 1/2 cup corn kernels cooked
  • 2 scallions roughly chopped
  • 1 small avocado sliced
  • Blue Corn Chips for serving

Notes

  • Remove the shrimps from the oven when they have turned pink and opaque. Do not overcook your shrimps at all as they turn gummy very quickly.
  • I use blue corn chips for an extra crunch but the chips are totally optional - so are the veggies. I’ve used spinach, chopped tomatoes, canned black beans, cooked corn, avocados, and scallions but you can go for whatever you want.
  • You can make a double batch of avocado dressing and serve it with another salad, baked potatoes or as a nacho dip over the next days.
