Sweet, tangy, salty, this salad hits all the flavor profiles we love! Serve over chopped lettuce or in a butter lettuce leaf this recipe is perfect for summer!

What do I need to make this salad:

  • 1 pound cooked medium sized shrimp
  • 2 cups chopped mango Check out the already cut fruit section in your grocery store. Most stores are carrying chopped mangos….so easy!
  • 2 medium avocados
  • 1 pound cooked bacon – we cheat and buy the already cooked bacon and crisp it up in the microwave. Who says cheaters never prosper :).
  • lime
  • shallot
  • vinegar
  • honey
  • ginger
  • mayonnaise

Can I make this Shrimp Salad in advance?

  • Yes! Simply toss everything except the avocado and dressing in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate. Toss in the avocado and the dressing right before serving.
  • Store in refridgerator no longer than 24 hours for best results.

How do I serve this salad?

Serve over chopped lettuce or inside butter lettuce like a lettuce wrap!

PRO TIP: If using raw shrimp simply roast on a baking sheet at 400 degrees for 10 minutes or in your air fryer for 8 minutes. Chill before tossing with the salad.
