Roasted Shrimp salad with Avocado and white beans. Tossed with a light vinaigrette, tomato cucumber, fresh and delightful, this one screams Summer.
With warmer days, singing birds and blooming tulips, I found myself jotting down ingredients I needed for this wonderful roasted shrimp salad. We loved this salad and it’s certainly a keeper recipe. If you’re looking for a healthy shrimp salad recipe, this one is most certainly worth a try. Roasted shrimp is tossed with white beans, chunks of creamy avocado, tomato, cucumber and diced red onion. Simply dressed with olive oil, lime juice and some red pepper flakes, this is a delightful guilt-free light meal.
We loved this recipe. The only thing I changed was to dust the shrimp with some Chipotle chile powder. Not that it needed it, but I just couldn’t help myself. I also added just a tad of orange juice to sweeten up olive oil, lime dressing.
My recommendation, is to keep this recipe in your back pocket for one of those hot Summer days when you’re in the mood for a fresh and easy dinner. This one fits the bill in your search for shrimp avocado salad recipes.

maria @ close to home says
May 12, 2014 at 9:23 amThanks so much for the sweet introduction. I like that you spiced things up a bit, my kids would not have gone for that. I think it is totally acceptable to change it up a bit I do it all the time with SRC recipes. Glad you liked it, Totatlly forgot about that recipe.
Lea Ann Brown says
May 16, 2014 at 6:45 amYou’re so welcome Maria. Thanks for a great recipe.

Heather says
May 12, 2014 at 12:30 pmYUM! I never thought of roasting shrimp before. Great SRC choice!
Lea Ann Brown says
May 16, 2014 at 6:46 amEasy and delicious way to cook shrimp. This is actually the 2nd time I’ve done it. Works like a charm.
Jen says
May 12, 2014 at 2:50 pmThis looks so great. I prefer salads that don’t have lettuce in them. I always find it hard to get all the lettuce down without drowning it in dressing first. And then what’s the point? Shrimp is also a nice change from the usual chicken salad. Beautiful!
Lea Ann Brown says
May 16, 2014 at 6:46 amI agree jen. It’s always nice to find an alternative.

May 12, 2014 at 3:26 pmYou got beautiful color on your shrimp and I like the ease of roasting the shrimp. You picked a great recipe, I’ll take your advice and try it this summer. For the snow we have on the ground today it is one more batch of chili for me for the season.
Lea Ann Brown says
May 16, 2014 at 6:47 amThank you Holly! I’m so glad that darn snow is melted. I’m ready for warm.
