Cilantro lime grilled shrimp salad with a creamy avocado dressing. I want this salad every single day for a very long time. This cilantro lime grilled shrimp salad is fantastic. Grilled shrimp skewers, avocado, red pepper, grape tomatoes and mango, and topped with a creamy avocado dressing. It's super quick and easy to throw together, and even with all the chopping necessary for a salad, it's on the table in 30 minutes.
