INGREDIENTS

1 pound medium Pan-Seared Citrus Shrimp
8 cups greens (such as arugula, spinach, lettuce, or spring mix)
Extra virgin olive oil (I prefer a fruity or lemon-flavored oil)
Juice of 1/2 lemon or 1/2 orange
1 avocado, sliced or diced
1 shallot, minced
4 ounces sliced almonds, toasted
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

1 Prepare the recipe for the citrus shrimp. Or, gently warm the leftover shrimp. You can also serve the shrimp chilled.
2 Assemble the salad. Toss the shrimp with the salad greens in a large bowl. Lightly drizzle with olive oil, and if desired, some of the sauce remaining from the shrimp with a generous squeeze of citrus, and toss lightly to coat. Add the avocado, shallots and sliced almonds and then season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper and serve.
