Summer Shrimp Salad with Avocado
- Hey, it's Lisa with An Appetizing Life,
and today, I'm doing a romaine salad
with avocado and marinated shrimp.
This is an easy salad to put together,
and it's flavored with garlic, shallot,
Italian parsley, freshdill, Dijon mustard,
a little Tabasco sauce, andsome white wine vinegar.
(upbeat music)
So this salad couldn't be easier to make,
because you really aren'tdoing a whole lot of cooking,
just some chopping, andthe shrimp is precooked
so we're going to put it in the marinade,
going to take about twohours, and throw it together,
you'll be done.
Let's start with the marinade.
Start with the shallot.
Finely dice the shallot.
