Living out here in the PNW we celebrate any sighting of sunshine. Here's an offering to that end that is bright with zingy flavors that can be put together in less than ten mins., and works brilliantly as either an appetizer or light lunch to take out with you.
(serves 4)
1 cup small cooked shrimp
1 ripe mango, diced
1/4 t. dried red chile flakes, or to taste
Zest and juice of 1 lime (reserve 1/2 t. of the juice)
Small handful of finely chopped cilantro
Sea salt and freshly* ground pepper to taste
2 ripe* avocados
Fresh baby herb salad greens, to serve
1 T. EVOO
Place the shrimp, mango, chile flakes, zest and juice of the lime, and cilantro in a bowl and mix together. Season with S&P, and leave to marinate for a few mins. Halve the avocados. Carefully remove the pit and peel away the skin. Rub the avocado halves with reserved 1/2 t. lime juice. Divide salad greens among four plates and drizzle with a splash of oil. Place an avocado half on the greens, fill with spiced shrimp mixture and serve.
