How to Make Zesty Lemon Shrimp and Mango Salad?

1.  For this recipe, you will need the following simple ingredients:

  • To make this salad quick and easy, already “pre-cooked” shrimp is best, which I purchased at Wholefoods in their freezer section. 

2.  Then I decided to jazz things up with some:

  • diced mango
  • diced avocado
  • and jicama to give this salad some crunch.

3.  Next, I combined everything into a mixing bowl and made my favorite lemon vinaigrette.

Easy-To-Make Lemon Dressing…

1. It is a simple dressing made with fresh lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, a pinch of sugar, and some Dijon mustard.ย 

2. Then it’s mixed with fresh cilantro and salt and black pepper.

3. Then it marinates for a while before serving.

Lemons, as you know, are essential to consume all year long because of their anti-oxidant health benefits. 

The flavors blend very nicely, especially with the sweet mango and avocado, releasing a refreshing taste.

And the longer it sits to marinate, the better it gets!

Mango along with avocado is a fruit and jicama is in the vegetable family.ย  Surprisingly to me, they all work very well together in this salad. ย 

I love all the flavors and textures in this shrimp and mango salad.  My husband (who is not crazy about mango) really enjoyed the flavor of mango in this salad.

He even suggested next time I make it, to add more mango and even more avocado.  He loves avocado and mango.

Zesty Lemon Shrimp and Mango Salad is a great seafood salad to enjoy all season long!

A few great tips you should know

  • Frozen shrimp (already cleaned and deveined) works really well for this salad and is also a time-saver too! ย 
  • Just thaw the shrimp in a colander by rinsing it under cold running water, and allowing it to drain well. 
  • Make this shrimp salad a few hours ahead and chill, it will marinate even better!ย 
  • Best served the same day you make it.

Additional Notes…

  • How To Store our Seafood Salad: it is best to cover with clear wrap, or transfer the salad into a sealed container and keep it chilled in your refrigerator.
  • How Long Will It Stay Fresh? It will stay fresh for up to 2 days.
