Tips:
- Choose the right shrimp. Use large, fresh shrimp for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
- Cook the shrimp properly. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and chewy. Cook them just until they are opaque and pink, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the salad will be. Look for fresh corn, black beans, tomatoes, and avocado.
- Don't skimp on the dressing. The dressing is what brings all the flavors together. Use a good quality olive oil and vinegar, and season it to taste.
- Assemble the salad just before serving. This will prevent the salad from getting soggy.
