Method
Preparation
- Begin by boiling water in a medium saucepan. Once boiling, add the shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes or until they turn pink and opaque. Drain and let them cool.
- While your shrimp cool, slice the cucumbers and halve the cherry tomatoes. Finely chop the red onion and fresh cilantro for added flavor.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled shrimp, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro.
- Pour the dressing over your salad and gently toss to combine, ensuring everything is well coated.
- This salad can be enjoyed immediately or chilled for a bit to let the flavors meld together.
Notes
For substitutions, you can replace shrimp with halved boiled eggs or grilled chicken. Best to consume the salad within a couple of hours for freshness. Avoid overcooking shrimp to prevent a rubbery texture.
