Spicy Shrimp Salad
Description
Spicy Shrimp Salad highlights shrimp coated in a blend of cumin, chili powder, cayenne, and black pepper, quickly sautéed until cooked through. These seasoned shrimp add a warm, smoky heat balanced by the creaminess of diced avocado and the fresh herbaceous notes of chopped cilantro. The base of the salad is crisp romaine lettuce, providing crunch and freshness. A dressing made with olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, and cayenne is whisked together and lightly drizzled over the salad to add a bright tang and complement the spice of the shrimp. This dish combines varied textures and balanced heat, suitable for a nutritious lunch or dinner option.
