Ingredients
  

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 ripe avocados, diced into bite-sized pieces

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1 cup corn (fresh or canned, drained if using canned)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 1 lime

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Optional: 1 tablespoon hot sauce for a spicy twist

Instructions
 

Prepare the Shrimp: Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a rolling boil. Add the shrimp and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until they turn bright pink and opaque. Once cooked, drain the shrimp and let them cool. After cooling, chop them into bite-sized pieces.

    Mix the Dressing: In a small mixing bowl, combine the lime juice, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and hot sauce (if desired). Whisk the ingredients together until fully blended. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

      Combine the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, diced avocados, halved cherry tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, corn, and chopped cilantro.

        Dress the Salad: Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad mixture. Using a gentle motion, toss all the ingredients together until evenly coated, taking care not to mash the avocados.

          Chill and Serve: Place the salad in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully. Serve the shrimp avocado delight either chilled or at room temperature for a refreshing appetizer or light meal.
