Description
Zesty Lime Shrimp and Avocado Salad is a refreshing and vibrant dish packed with fresh flavors. This salad combines succulent shrimp with creamy avocado, juicy tomatoes, and a bit of heat from finely diced jalapeño, all brought together with a tangy lime and cilantro dressing. The marinated red onions add a mild sweetness and a slight crunch that balances beautifully with the zesty lime and creamy avocado.
