Mexican shrimp salad
Description
Perfect for an everyday table. Place the juice of 1 lime into a large saucepan and add the lime zest, 1 liter of water, 3 tablespoons of orange juice and orange zest, allspice, 1/4 teaspoon of salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 10 minutes. Prepare a bowl with ice water. Add shrimp to the boiling liquid and cook until pink, about 3 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to the ice bath. Let cool slightly for about 5 minutes, then peel and chop into small pieces. Whisk together the juice of the remaining 1 1/2 limes, the remaining 1 tablespoon of orange juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, lime zest, tomato paste, and cayenne pepper in a bowl (add more pepper to taste). Mix this dressing with the shrimp, onion, and tomato. Chill, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes. Divide salad leaves among 4 plates. Top with shrimp and avocado, and serve with lime slices. Garnish as desired and serve.
