How to make Shrimp and Avocado Salad:
Peel the shrimp and reserve them in a bowl. You can make the Shrimp Avocado Salad with cooked or raw shrimp. If you use raw shrimp, you should cook them on the grill or boil them. Peel the avocados and cut them into cubes or slices, however you like. Add them to the bowl with the shrimp and, to prevent the avocados from browning, pour a splash of lemon juice and mix.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and the pineapple into cubes the same size as the avocado. Add these ingredients to the bowl to continue with the preparation of the shrimp and avocado salad.
Tip: You can substitute pineapple for other fruits. For example, you can make shrimp, avocado and mango, coconut or orange salad.
Add the lettuce, mayonnaise to taste, mix and serve. Now you have your avocado and shrimp salad ready! Instead of mayonnaise you can use pink sauce, tartar sauce, honey mustard vinaigrette or any other you like. The possibilities are endless, so we encourage you to try and tell us which sauce you added. We have served the salad in individual containers, but you can also present it in a single dish. Likewise, depending on whether the salad will be a side dish or a single dish, it will serve more or fewer people. As a single dish it is for two, while as a side dish it is for four.
