SO fresh and so clean!
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.

Whats the nutrition on this recipe?
Natalie Ellis says
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!!!

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 🙂
Corey says
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 🙂
