Shrimp Avocado Taco Salad is full of fresh avocados, tomatoes, red onions, black beans and corn. The shrimp cook in a blend of delicious taco seasonings. Serve it with some tortilla chips and this salad is unforgettable!
I have almost made it to the end of my pregnancy guys. I have been buying stuff like crazy trying to prepare and looking in her little room makes me so excited for her arrival! I feel like the last part goes by so slow and I have been so uncomfortable. But luckily keeping extremely busy has helped.
This last part of my pregnancy I have been craving salads like crazy. It is probably a good thing to help keep the weight in the end under control. This salad right here is absolutely incredible. I mean seriously! It is made with fresh and delicious ingredients and the flavor is out of this world!
The shrimp take only minutes to cook in a delicious blend of taco seasonings. Then you create the salad. I think avocado is a necessary part to almost any salad because it is a personal favorite. But add in some crisp romaine, tomatoes, red onion, black beans, and corn and you have a mouthwatering salad.
When I originally had made this salad, I made it with a salsa ranch dressing. Don’t get me wrong, that dressing is delicious. But as soon as I started eating the salad, it didn’t need the dressing! All of the fresh ingredients and spices from the shrimp made it so flavorful that you didn’t need dressing. So I will include the recipe for the dressing I made but it is delicious even without it!
I know that you are going to love this salad just as much as I did!

I have tried a couple of your salad recipes and they are great. I am trying this one next. I plan on adding Queso Fresco Cheese to the salad as I need a little dairy on my salad to feel satisfied. Thank you for all the great salad recipes!
This was delicious! Tons of flavor. I only changed it by adding less onion since I have a couple kids not fond of them.
I made this (forgot to take picture) I changed the ranch dressing for blue cheese it was so yummy will keep in my recipes
