Salad with avocado, tomatoes and shrimp

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a salad with avocado, tomatoes and shrimp? Prepare the ingredients according to the list. You will need shrimp, half an avocado, a bell pepper and a tomato, a small red or onion, olive oil and spices. Lettuce of any variety is suitable, for example, Iceberg lettuce, Boston lettuce, watercress.

2. STEP 2

   

   How to cook shrimp correctly? Pour water into a large saucepan. The volume of liquid should be twice the volume of seafood. Add salt (1 tbsp per 1 liter of water). When it boils, add shrimp to the pan. As soon as it returns to a boil, immediately turn off the heat. Small shrimp are cooked for about 2 minutes. Royal or brindle - 3-7 minutes depending on their size. Drain in a colander and rinse with cold water. Peel the chilled shrimp.

3. STEP 3

   

   Cut the bell pepper in half and remove the core and seeds. Cut half the pepper into strips. Cut the juicy, fleshy tomato into thin, neat slices. Do not take fruit that is too soft, as it will give the salad excess juice and lose its shape when slicing.

4. STEP 4

   

   Peel the onion. Rinse it and the knife with cold water so that when cutting the onion juice does not irritate the mucous membranes of the eyes so much. Cut the onion into thin half rings. It is better to use red onions; with them the dish will look brighter.

5. STEP 5

   

   Rinse and dry the lettuce leaves with paper towels. Tear it into small pieces with your hands. Tear it into small pieces with your hands. It is important not to cut with a knife, as leaf lettuce quickly darkens, withers and loses vitamins when it comes into contact with metal.

6. STEP 6

   

   Wash the avocado, cut in half, remove the pit. Peel off the skin. Cut the pulp into small pieces. It is better to peel the fruit in this order, because after removing the skin, the surface of the avocado becomes slippery and you can easily cut yourself when trying to remove the pit.

7. STEP 7

   

   In a large salad bowl, combine boiled shrimp, chopped vegetables, lettuce, and avocado. Salt to taste. Pepper if desired. Squeeze the juice from half a lemon in any way convenient for you. Pour lemon juice over the salad. Season with olive oil. Take unrefined oil, which is obtained by cold pressing olives (Extra Virgin Olive Oil). This oil will give the dish a richer aroma and taste. Gently mix the ingredients.

8. STEP 8

   

   An appetizing and aromatic salad is ready. Serve it immediately. Bon appetit!
