Ingredients
  

1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 ripe avocado, diced

2 cups mixed greens (spinach, arugula, and romaine)

1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

Juice of 2 limes

2 tablespoons honey

        Add the Shrimp: Once the shrimp are cooked and slightly cooled, add them to the salad. Toss gently to ensure the shrimp and vegetables are well distributed.

          Dress the Salad: Drizzle additional lime juice and olive oil if desired. Adjust salt and pepper to taste. For an extra zing, consider adding sliced jalapeños.
