4.Sweet ‘n’ spicy shrimp and avocado salad with mango vinaigrette

Sweet ‘n’ spicy shrimp and avocado salad with mango vinaigrette

Great presentation and delicious salad!

The recipe calls for 1 pound of peeled, cooked shrimp. I happen to think shrimp is much more floverful if roasted in the oven than boild in water. I just toss my shrimp with a few tablespoons of olive oil and maybe 1/2 spoon each of salt and pepper. lay them out in a single layer on a sheet pan, and roast in a 400° oven for 8-10 minutes, just until pink, firm and cooked through. Set aside to cool, then add to your salad
