This tacolicious salad with avocado and shrimps is the definition of volume eating. It has everything you'd want: it's healthy yet flavorful, creamy but with a good crunch, zesty yet sweet. A simple and filling weeknight dinner for any taste. This salad has a delicious chipotle lime vinaigrette to accompany skillet-cooked shrimp and fresh avocado.
