The Del Mar Salad Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Shrimp Ceviche

   In a large bowl, combine the shrimp and lime juice. Make sure the shrimp is fully submerged in the lime juice to begin the marinating process. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the shrimp turns opaque.

2. 2

   Chop Vegetables

   While the shrimp is marinating, finely chop the red onion and cilantro. Set aside.

3. 3

   Combine Ingredients

   Once the shrimp is ready, drain excess lime juice and add chopped red onion, cilantro, blue crab meat, salt, and black pepper to the shrimp. Gently mix to combine all the ingredients.

4. 4

   Prepare the Lettuce and Avocado

   Rinse the iceberg lettuce head, and cut it into quarters. Carefully slice the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Cut the avocado into cubes.

5. 5

   Assemble the Salad

   On a large serving platter or individual plates, layer the iceberg lettuce first. Top with the shrimp ceviche mixture, followed by the avocado cubes and black olives. Serve immediately.
