Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb raw shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1½ tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ⅛ tsp cayenne pepper omit for a milder dish
  • 2 small diced mangoes or alternatively, use 1 large mango chopped into pieces.
  • 1 large avocado diced
  • ¼ red onion chopped
  • 1 small jalapeño pepper seeds removed and finely minced.
  • 2 Tbsp cilantro chopped
  • Juice from 3 to 6 limes or enough to thoroughly dress the salad.

Instructions
 

  • Season the Shrimp: In a bowl, combine the chili powder, paprika, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using). Toss the peeled and deveined shrimp in the seasoning mixture until evenly coated.
  • Cook the Shrimp: Heat a little oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through.
  • Prepare the Salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced mango, avocado, red onion, jalapeño, and chopped cilantro. Gently toss the ingredients to mix.
  • Add the Lime Juice: Squeeze the juice from 3-6 limes over the salad, ensuring all the ingredients are generously coated in the lime juice. This will add brightness and flavor to the salad.
  • Combine and Serve: Once the shrimp have cooled slightly, add them to the salad and gently toss everything together. Taste and adjust seasoning with more lime juice or salt, if needed.
  • Serve Fresh: Serve the salad immediately as a refreshing, flavorful appetizer or light meal. You can also chill the salad for 10-15 minutes before serving for an extra-refreshing option.
