Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 ripe mango, diced
- 1 avocado, diced
- 4 cups mixed greens (spinach, arugula, etc.)
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 jalapeño, diced (optional for extra spice)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lime, juiced
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Preparation: In a bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Make sure every shrimp is coated well for even flavor.
- Cooking: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the shrimp for about 3-4 minutes until they turn pink and are cooked through. You’ll know they’re ready when they curl into a nice ‘C’ shape.

- Finishing: Top the salad with the cooked shrimp and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful burst of flavors!
