Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • parchment paper
  • salad bowl
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds raw jumbo shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 1 large English cucumber chopped
  • 1 firm avocado peeled and chopped
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • ¼ cup fresh chopped mint leaves
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chopped cilantro
  • Salt
  • pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the shrimp onto the baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Toss the shrimp in the oil and spread them out on the baking sheet. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
  • Roast the shrimp in the oven for 5-7 minutes, until pink. They should still be in the shape of C's. If they shrink to O's, you've overcooked them. Cool the shrimp on the baking sheet.
  • Meanwhile, chop the cucumber and avocado in ¾-inch chunks. Place the cucumber, avocado, minced garlic, chopped mint leaves, and cilantro in a salad bowl. Pour the lime juice and 1 tablespoon olive oil over the salad and toss well to coat. Taste, then salt and pepper as needed.
  • Once the shrimp have cooled to room temperature, toss them into the salad. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
