Shrimp and Avocado Salad with Miso Dressing
INGREDIENTS
for the salad:
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 pound raw shrimp, tails removed
1/2 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1 1/2 cups sliced avocados (2 small)
1 cucumber
4 cups chopped spinach or baby kale
fresh chopped cilantro for topping
peanuts for topping
for the dressing:
1 1-inch piece of fresh peeled ginger
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons lime juice (more to taste)
2 tablespoons agave nectar
1 1/2 tablespoons white miso (it’s like a paste – you can buy it at many regular grocery stores)
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon salt
INSTRUCTIONS
Heat the butter in a small skillet over medium high heat. Add the garlic and shrimp; sprinkle with the chili powder and cayenne directly in the pan. Saute for a few minutes on each side until the shrimp are no longer clear and have a nice golden color on the outside.
Cut the avocados in half; cut lines through the avocado vertically and horizontally and scoop the flesh out with a spoon (like this). Peel and dice the cucumber. Chop the spinach or baby kale into small bite sized pieces. Arrange in a bowl with the shrimp.
