1
Cook the Shrimp
In a skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.
2
Prepare the Vinaigrette
In a blender, combine the avocado, cilantro, juice of 2 limes, salt, and pepper to taste. Blend until smooth. If the dressing is too thick, add a little water to thin it out.
3
Assemble the Salad
In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, chopped tomato, sliced palmetto hearts, diced avocado, thinly sliced red onion, and cooked shrimp. Toss gently to combine.
4
Dress the Salad
Drizzle the lime avocado cilantro vinaigrette over the salad and toss again to coat all ingredients evenly.
5
Serve
Top the salad with fried tortilla strips for crunch and serve immediately.
