Ingredients
- Zest of 1 lemon and juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1 clove garlic, grated
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- Handful fresh cilantro, chopped
- 24 cooked jumbo shrimp, chilled
- 2 avocados, cut into large chunks
- 1 mango
- 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 6 Bibb or butter lettuce cups
- Minced fresh chives, for serving
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the lemon zest and juice and garlic. Add the olive oil and cilantro, then whisk until it’s all mixed together.
- Place the shrimp in a bowl, pour in half of the lemon-cilantro dressing and stir to coat. Place in the fridge to marinate for 20 minutes or up to a couple hours.
- Add the avocado to the bowl with the rest of the dressing.
- Dice up the mango: Slice off both halves around the pit, score the flesh inside the skin and invert the skin to pop out the good stuff. Then, slice off the mango pieces so they fall into the bowl with the avocado. Add the red onion and some salt and pepper and gently mix it all together.
- To serve, arrange 4 shrimp in the center of each lettuce leaf and spoon the mango-avocado salad on top. Sprinkle chives over the top to make ’em extra pretty.

Reviews
Very tasty. I did not use cooked shrimp, I quickly sauteed fresh shrimp using some of the marinade since it had so much oil in it. Used a little salt and lime zest for seasoning. It was fantastic. Served with coconut lime rice. YUM!!
Yummy. I added some jalapeño for a little kick. I think it’s s keeper.
This taste bright and fresh! Happy flavors makes for happy mouth and tummy! Yum!
Although this recipe was simple, easy to make and we enjoyed all the fresh ingredients, we found it a bit bland. Would probably try it again with more salt and acidity in the marinade/dressing.
This recipe was amazing. Definitely a keeper.
Very good flavor! Easy to make. This is a keeper recipe for us.
