Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 ripe mangoes, diced into bite-sized pieces

2 cups mixed salad greens (a mix of arugula, spinach, and romaine)

1 ripe avocado, diced

1 small red onion, thinly sliced

1 bell pepper (red or yellow), diced

1 cucumber, diced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 2 limes

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon honey (or agave syrup for a vegan option)

Salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste

Optional: 1 jalapeño, finely chopped for an extra kick

Instructions
 

Prepare the Shrimp: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the shrimp with salt, pepper, and half of the lime juice. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they turn pink and opaque. Once cooked, remove the shrimp from the skillet and set them aside to cool.

    Make the Dressing: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, honey (or agave syrup), chopped cilantro, and the remaining lime juice. Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning with salt and freshly cracked pepper if needed.

      Combine the Salad Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the mixed salad greens, diced mango, diced avocado, sliced red onion, diced bell pepper, and diced cucumber. Toss the ingredients gently to ensure an even mix without bruising the delicate avocado.

        Incorporate the Shrimp: Once the shrimp have cooled, add them to the salad mixture, folding them in carefully to combine with the other ingredients.

          Dress the Salad: Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad and toss gently until all ingredients are thoroughly coated with the dressing.

            Serve: Divide the salad into four bowls. For added presentation, garnish with additional cilantro and chopped jalapeño if desired, creating a beautiful, colorful dish. Enjoy your vibrant and refreshing Tropical Bliss Mango & Shrimp Salad Bowl!
