Avocado Shrimp Salad

Here is salad number 2 also served with blue corn tortilla chips:

Avocado Shrimp Salad
  • 8-10 jumbo shrimp
  • 1 large avocado
  • 1/3 cup sweet corn
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion
  • 1 chopped pickling cucumber
  • lime
  • salt
Flash boil the shrimp in salt water and rinse in cold water to cool. Chop red onions and pickling cucumber. Boil sweet corn for about 2 minutes and also rinse to cool.

Combine corn, red onion and cucumber in a large mixing bowl. Add lime juice to taste.

Mix in half of the shrimp (either chopped or halved) and leave the rest aside for garnish.

Cut open avocado and remove pit. Score the inside into cubes and scoop out with a spoon. Mix with the rest of the ingredients. Add salt and more lime juice to taste. Be sure to perform this step last (or when you are ready to serve) to avoid avocado discoloration.

I also served this salad with blue corn tortilla chips:)
