Instructions

  1. Prepare the Shrimp: Rinse and pat dry the shrimp. Season lightly with salt, pepper, and chili flakes if desired. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  5. Dress and Serve: Drizzle fresh lime juice and a bit of olive oil over the assembled ingredients. Toss gently if preferred or keep separated for presentation. Adjust seasoning with extra salt, pepper, or chili flakes to taste. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use fresh or properly thawed shrimp for best texture and flavor.
  • Choose ripe but firm avocado and mango to avoid mushiness.
  • Cut fruits and vegetables uniformly for easy eating and attractive presentation.
  • Toss avocado with lime juice before adding to prevent browning.
  • Avoid overcooking shrimp to maintain juiciness and tenderness.
