Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat 8 oz shrimp dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix 1/2 tsp turmeric, 1/4 tsp sea salt, and 1 tsp olive oil. Rub evenly over shrimp and let sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove from heat and let rest for 2 minutes.
  3. Step 3: While shrimp cooks, dice 1 large avocado and toss with 1 tbsp lime juice to prevent browning. Arrange 3 cups mixed greens on plates, top with sliced avocado, cooked shrimp, and 2 tbsp minced red onion, then drizzle with any reserved lime juice and oil.
