Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium-high. Add 1 lb shrimp and 2 minced garlic cloves; cook until shrimp are pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from heat.

  2. Step 2

    In a large bowl, combine 1 cup cherry tomatoes, 1 sliced cucumber, and 1 sliced avocado. Add the cooked shrimp and any pan juices.

  3. Step 3

    In a small bowl, whisk together remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 minced garlic clove, and juice of 1 lemon. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. Step 4

    Pour dressing over salad and toss gently to coat. Serve immediately, optionally over lettuce leaves if you have them.
