Instructions
In a large bowl, combine black beans, avocado, jalapeno, serrano chile (if using), cucumber, and cilantro. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp, sprinkle evenly with cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 2 minutes.
Flip shrimp, reduce heat to medium-low, add lime juice and honey. Stir to combine and continue cooking until shrimp are done, about 2 more minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional lime juice, honey, salt, pepper, or cumin if desired.
Transfer shrimp and all the sauce into the bowl with the black bean mixture. Stir to combine well.
Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Note that the avocado may brown and the vegetables will soften over time.
