# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Right before digging in, scatter on avocado, minced shallot, and toasted almonds. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper to finish it off.
02 -
Pour a bit of olive oil and citrus juice over everything. If you saved the shrimp’s citrus sauce, add some for extra flavor. Give it all a quick toss.
03 -
Toss your shrimp with the mixed greens in a big bowl.
04 -
Pan-sear shrimp with a little citrus, or gently warm up leftovers. You can also just use them cold.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Best flavor happens if you pour some of the shrimp’s pan juices over your salad. No worries if there’s not much—just add more olive oil and fresh citrus.
