Ingredients
Scale
- 300 g large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 ripe mango, diced
- 2 ripe avocados, diced
- 2 kiwis, peeled and diced
- 100 g blueberries
- 1 small red onion, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, for cooking the shrimp

- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 lime, juiced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, for the dressing

Instructions
- Pat the shrimp dry: Use paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps them cook evenly and develop a better texture.
- Season generously: Toss the shrimp with paprika, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well coated.
- Sear the shrimp: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned shrimp and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through.
- Dice the mango: Cut the mango into bite-sized pieces and place in a large serving bowl.
- Prepare the avocados: Slice the avocados in half, remove the pit, and carefully scoop the flesh into bite-sized pieces.
- Cut the kiwis: Peel the kiwis and dice into small chunks, keeping the vibrant green color.
- Dice the red onion: Finely dice the red onion for a sharp, fresh bite throughout the salad.
- Combine the base: In a large serving bowl, gently toss together the mango, avocados, kiwis, and blueberries.
- Add the remaining components: Add the diced red onion, chopped parsley, and the cooled cooked shrimp to the bowl.
- Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, 3 tablespoons olive oil, honey, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until smooth and well combined.
- Toss and serve: Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss until everything is evenly coated, then serve immediately for the freshest flavor and best texture.
