Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 5 mins
Servings: 4

Ingredients:
-  500g shrimp, peeled and deveined
-  2 avocados, sliced
-  Mixed salad greens
-  1 orange, segmented
-  1/4 cup olive oil
-  2 tbsp lime juice
-  1 tsp honey
-  Salt and pepper to taste

Method:

1. Prepare the shrimp: Pat the shrimp dry and season lightly with sea salt and pepper. Heat a grill pan or BBQ to medium-high heat. Grill the shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side, or until they turn opaque and have a light char. Set aside to cool slightly.
2. Make the citrus vinaigrette: In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, honey, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust as needed. (Tip: Add a little orange zest for extra zing.)
3. Assemble the salad: On a large platter or individual bowls, layer the mixed salad greens, avocado slices, and orange segments. Top with the warm grilled shrimp.
4. Dress and serve: Drizzle the citrus vinaigrette over the top just before serving. Finish with a crack of fresh pepper and an optional sprinkle of toasted seeds or microgreens if you like
