Instructions
- 1
Firstly, to cook the shrimp, heat the olive oil in a pan and once hot add the shrimp crushed garlic and chili flakes.
- 2
It is important to get the oil nice and hot (not smoking, just before that point) your shrimp should sizzle when added to the pan.
- 3
Check the back of the shrimp and when you see the colour change about half way up, turn them over.
- 4
Do the same on the other side.
- 5
This should only take a minute to two minutes maximum on both sides otherwise you will get a rubbery result if you leave it too long.
- 6
Squeeze over the lime juice this too should bubble and reduce.
- 7
Add a little salt and pepper, stir through, remove from the heat and set aside.
- 8
Mix the dressing ingredients together, check for flavour, adjust if need be and set aside.
- 9
Place all the salad ingredients in a bowl except the avocado and the salt and pepper.
- 10
Prepare the avocado as you are about to serve otherwise it will turn brown.
- 11
Once it is covered in the lime dressing, this will slow down the oxidization process and it wont go brown so easily.
- 12
When you are ready to serve mix of the avocado through the salad and add the dressing.
- 13
Toss everything together.
- 14
Taste to see if you need any salt and pepper.
- 15
Place your shrimp on top of the salad with the rest of the avocado and sprinkle/pour any residue from the pan over your salad in which you cooked the shrimp.
- 16
This is great flavour, so you dont want to lose it.
