Tips for the shrimp avocado salad
This shrimp avocado salad recipe can be made in under 20 minutes, it really doesn’t take much doing to prepare a fresh batch — a quickly-prepared protein (such as shrimp) is one of the essential parts of composing a salad like this.
- You can serve this shrimp avocado salad as an appetizer or light meal. You can put this over slices of toasted bread to make it more substantial.
- If making this for a party, you can easily double or triple the recipe. Just cook shrimp in batches to not overcrowd the pan.
- To make ahead, combine all the ingredients except for the avocado and cilantro and keep this refrigerated, then add them just before serving the shrimp avocado salad.
What shrimp should I use for the salad?
- Frozen shrimp is okay for this recipe but try as much as possible to buy wild-caught shrimp. Fresh wild-caught shrimp tends to have better flavor. You can use the shrimp with the tails on or off. Large shrimp (jumbo, colossal, extra large, whatever the name named… with a caliber of 16-20) will do best because they are meaty and juicy.
- Make sure not to crowd the shrimp in the skillet, otherwise, moisture will form and shrimp won’t sear properly. You’ll end up with steamed rubbery shrimp.
What to serve with this shrimp avocado salad
This shrimp avocado salad could easily be served all on its own because it really does make a complete meal. But sometimes a little extra something is nice to enjoy on the side. A few suggestions to consider are garlic bread, garlic keto bread, a light soup or gazpacho, or low carb cheese crackers.

Thank you for this quick and easy recipe! It’s amazing! Made this as main dish for my husband and myself so I tripled the recipe. He absolutely loved it! We both wished I had prepared more so I’ll be making even more on Sunday!
