SHRIMP AVOCADO SALAD
Ingredients
- 1 lb. shrimp thawed, drained and patted dry with paper towel
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1.5 avocados diced
Salt and pepper to taste
- 1-2 tablespoon red onions small diced

- To make the dressing, use a bowl large enough to hold all the ingredients. Whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, cumin and salt.
