I love shrimp in all its forms, whether it’s fried, dished up in a garlicky scampi, or served cocktail-style. However, come summertime, all I want to eat is this avocado shrimp salad on repeat. For this recipe, I toss juicy, plump shrimp with cubes of ripe avocado, creamy mayo, chopped celery, shallot, cilantro, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. I’ll happily eat it for lunch, dinner, or as a late-night snack, heaped onto a slice of sturdy toasted bread, into a hot dog bun (bonus points if it’s toasted in a pan with melted butter first), or on top of some leafy greens. A colleague once told me that it was so good, she eats it straight from the bowl. Trust me, it’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser, no matter the preferred eating method.
