This grilled shrimp and mango avocado salad has summer written all over it. Perfectly grilled shrimp, with savory avocado and tangy mango.
Drizzled with a honey mustard vinaigrette? Yup. Count me in!
After my recipe last with with my avocado chimichurri, I had SO MUCH avocados left over I had to figure out something else to do with it.
Instead of getting fancy with the ingredient I said “Hey, just throw it into a salad”
Sometimes I have brilliant ideas!
Sometimes. At best. Ask my wife.
Shrimp in our house is one of those proteins, that there’s no argument over. My wife has a VERY picky stomach.
She can hardly stomach chicken. And Beef? It’s gotta be cooked thoroughly (barf…). So when I’m short on ideas, shrimp is always my go-to!
So a little citrus, salt and pepper for the shrimp, on the grill, then fresh mango, avocado, and a quick from scratch honey mustard vinaigrette it is for dinner.
Also – if you want to spice this Grilled Shrimp Salad up a bit? Try Mikes Hot Honey.
We use it on everything and I gave it a test on the honey mustard vinaigrette and it was soooo good!
