SPICY SHRIMP AVOCADO SALAD

Spicy Shrimp Avocado Salad image

I found this recipe on the California Avocado Commission's website. It is a spicy, refreshing salad that can serve 3 as an entree. It can serve 6 as a compliment to any mexican meal. Preparation time does not include the chill time for the salsa. This salsa is a real keeper! Use it for chips, eggs, tacos, steaks, burgers... It is worth saving this recipe for the salsa alone!

Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe avocados. Look for avocados that are dark green with a slight give when you gently press them.
If you don't have a grill, you can cook the shrimp in a skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
To make a spicier salad, add more cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes. You can also use a hotter variety of chili pepper, such as a jalapeño or serrano pepper.
This salad is also great served with rice or quinoa.
For a vegetarian version of this salad, omit the shrimp and add grilled tofu or roasted vegetables.
