Instructions

1. 1.
   In a medium bowl, combine shrimp with 1 tablespoon of lime juice and a pinch of salt. Let the shrimp marinate for about 5 minutes to absorb the citrus flavor, ensuring they remain juicy and tender.
2. 2.
   Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the shrimp in a single layer, cooking for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Avoid overcrowding the pan so the shrimp sear properly instead of steaming.
3. 3.
   While the shrimp are cooking, arrange the mixed greens on a plate. Add the diced avocado on top, ensuring even distribution for a balanced flavor in each bite.
4. 4.
   Once the shrimp are cooked, let them cool slightly before adding to the salad. This prevents the greens from wilting and the avocado from becoming mushy.
5. 5.
   Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of lime juice over the salad for an extra burst of freshness. Toss gently to combine all the flavors. Serve immediately while the shrimp are still slightly warm, enhancing the contrast with the cool, creamy avocado.
