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.

We use it on everything and I gave it a test on the honey mustard vinaigrette and it was soooo good!
