Avocado Shrimp Salad

Avocado Shrimp Salad in a white bowl

A couple weeks ago, I had some amazing shrimp ceviche while out for dinner.  I wanted to try and create it in my own kitchen.   This recipe isn’t as “fancy” as your typical ceviche, but it is packed with healthy goodness, and is a cinch to make.  Look at all those beautiful colors.

I loved packing this Avocado Shrimp Salad for lunch in my EasyLunchbox.  It’s hard to wait for lunchtime when you know this is waiting for you in the cooler.

How to make Avocado Shrimp Salad

  • 1/2 Tablespoon olive oil (or avocado oil if you have it)
  • 2 limes (juice from limes)
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon celery salt
  • 1/2 cup cucumbers, diced
  • 1 lb cooked shrimp, peeled, deveined and chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh tomato, diced
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1 Tablespoon chopped cilantro
  1. In a small bowl combine red onion, lime juice, olive oil, celery salt, salt and pepper. Let onions marinate for 5-10 minutes.
  2. Next combine chopped shrimp, avocado, tomato, cucumbers, cilantro and gently mix until well combined. Drizzle dressing over mixture and gently toss once more to evenly coated.
  3. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This lets all the lovely favors develop 🙂

    This is always full of good nutrition and super delicious. I remember there was a period that I have been extremely addicted to salad. And now I miss them again xD
    Have to make this for dinner!!!

  5. 4 stars
    Ok! This was good, but I’ll preface by saying that had I used the amount of lime in the recipe, all I would’ve tasted was lime. I started with the juice of one lime – not sure if my limes were extra juicy – and whoah it was tart. Juice of 1/2 a lime would’ve sufficed. Had to add more oil to balance the flavors. Otherwise, tasty and easy.

    HI! Happy New Year:) Quick question. If I made this ahead of time and brought to work, does the avocado turn brown? or does the lime juice help to prevent this?) Looks really yummy; I am possibly making for my lunch this week 🙂

    1. The lime juice does help the browning a lot. I also found pressing plastic wrap all the way down into the bowl (like touching the food in the bowl) and then sealing the top with your lid helps the browning even MORE. I hope that makes sense and helps 🙂
