As the weather gets warmer and we approach summer, I love fresh, hydrating recipes. This Shrimp With Mango Avocado Salsa is one of my favorites! It is so simple and delicious and tastes so refreshing. I like serving it with brown rice to make it a balanced and satisfying meal.

What You’ll Need:
Shrimp: You will need about 1 1/4 lbs of shrimp.
Produce: I use a variety of produce, including mango, avocados, red onion, and the juice of a lime to make the avocado mango salsa. You can substitute the mango for cubed pineapple as well and it tastes equally delicious.
Avocado Oil: I use avocado oil for high temperature cooking and air frying. I specifically use Chosen Foods avocado oil because based on a study that came out in June 2020, Chosen Foods was found to be one of the few brands of avocado oil that was pure avocado oil and not rancid1.
Garlic: The shrimp are cooked in garlic for added flavor.
Honey: Honey adds the perfect amount of sweetness to the shrimp.
Directions:
- Devein and remove tails from shrimp.
- In a frying pan, add 1 tbsp avocado oil and 1 minced clove of garlic. Cook on medium heat for about 20 seconds.
- Add shrimp to the frying pan with the avocado oil and garlic. Saute the shrimp until the shrimp are cooked and turn pink.
- Add 1 tbsp of honey to the shrimp and mix. Turn off the heat and set the pan of shrimp to the side to allow to cool.
- Cut the mango and avocado into cubes. Add to a separate bowl along with the chopped red onion.
- Once the shrimp have cooled, add them to the bowl. Squeeze the juice of 1/2 lime over the bowl and mix the contents of the bowl.
