SHRIMP, ASPARAGUS AND AVOCADO SALAD



Shrimp, Asparagus and Avocado Salad image

Provided by Jen Eddins

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound of medium-large shrimp, peeled, deveined and cut in half
2 bunches (2 lbs) of asparagus, trimmed and cut in half (be sure to snap off the woody ends!)
1 large avocado, diced
2 cups grape or cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1 cup fresh basil, julienned
1/4 cup olive oil, plus 1 tablespoon
Juice from 1/2 lemon
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
Salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Wash, dry and prep veggies and shrimp.
  • You'll want to cook the asparagus first. You can either steam it or blanche it in boiling water. If you're going the steaming route, place a steamer basket in a large pot and add a few inches of water. Bring to a boil and then add asparagus. Cover and cook 4-6 minutes, or until tender but still has a bit of a bite. You don't want mushy asparagus! Remove from steamer basket and let cool. If you're blanching, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add asparagus. Cook 2-4 minutes, or until tender but still has a bit of a bite. Drain and let cool. Cooking time for steaming and blanching will depend on the size of your spears.
  • While the asparagus is cooking, whisk together the 1/4 cup olive oil, lemon juice and dijon for the vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • While the asparagus is cooling, cook the shrimp. Season your shrimp with salt and pepper and if you have any other herb blend you like to use, add that too! I used a garlic herb blend. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet. Add shrimp and cook 2-3 minutes on medium-high heat or until opaque and cooked through. Remove from heat.
  • To assemble the salad, place the asparagus, shrimp, avocado, tomatoes and basil in a bowl. Pour the vinaigrette over it and lightly toss to combine and coat. Season again with salt and pepper to taste. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
