Fanning the mango and avocado slices around the shrimp salad makes this dish look as good as it tastes. Serve with cheese and crackers or chips and salsa.

I felt like I was at a spa! Great with the ripest mango and avocado you can find. I would also toss the mango and avocado in a lime juice mixture, and increase the lime elements so the salad is more well-dressed. Very light and refreshing for summer. Serve with chips and salsa.

Fantastic potential, but needs a little more salt and jalapeno to taste.

This recipe is AMAZING!! We are at the beach right now and wanted to enjoy fresh shrimp. I made this recipe our second night here and it was so good, we're doing it again for our last night, and I plan to make it regularly with frozen shrimp at home. WONDERFUL!!!
