MANGO AVOCADO SHRIMP SALAD
From myrecipes.com, originally from Sunset magazine. Peaches (fresh or good canned) make a fine substitute if good, ripe mangoes (or canned mangoes) can't be found. The shrimp I've found that were the right size were Canadian shrimp; the fish counter at my supermarket had them available frozen upon request.

Time 1h50m
Yield 6 to 8 servings
Number Of Ingredients 27
Steps:
- Granita: Add all the granita ingredients to a blender or food processor and puree. Strain the puree through a sieve into a medium bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 to 45 minutes. Transfer the chilled puree into a wide, shallow, heavy-bottomed container. (The shallower and wider the container, the more room you give the granita to freeze quickly.) Cover with foil or plastic wrap and freeze until it begins to appear solid around the edges, about 1 hour. Using a fork, scrape the ice from sides, mixing in from the edges into the center. Repeat this scraping and mixing process every 30 minutes, until the entire mixture has the consistency of shaved ice. Put back in freezer until ready to use.
- Chopped salad: Combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Shrimp: Combine the cilantro, lime zest and juice, jalapeno and olive oil in a blender or food processor. Set aside.
- If using a gas grill, preheat the grill to high, direct heat. If using coals, allow the coals to burn down to glowing white embers. The grill is hot enough when you can hold your hand about 1-inch over it for only 1 second. Lightly grease the grill with olive oil to prevent sticking. Lightly salt the shrimp and thread each skewer with 3 shrimp. Grill shrimp approximately 2 minutes per side, basting with cilantro oil twice. Remove the shrimp from the grill and add the remaining cilantro oil to a small pan. Heat the oil until bubbling.
- Add the avocado to a small bowl and drizzle with lime juice.
- To serve, spoon some of the chopped salad on each serving plate and top with some granita. Add a few teaspoons of avocado, a skewer of shrimp and a drizzle of the hot cilantro oil. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados: Ripe avocados are easier to scoop out and have a creamier texture.
- Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp have a sweeter and more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp.
- Cook the shrimp properly: Overcooked shrimp are tough and chewy, so cook them just until they are opaque and pink.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This will add color, texture, and flavor to the salad.
- Use a light dressing: A heavy dressing will overpower the delicate flavors of the shrimp and avocado.
Conclusion:
Avocado shrimp salad is a light, refreshing, and healthy salad that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover shrimp. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and nutritious salad that the whole family will enjoy.
