Instructions
Cook the Shrimp
- In a pan, heat some olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Season the shrimp with freshly ground black pepper and a pinch of salt.
- Sauté the shrimp until they turn pink and slightly caramelized, typically about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Set them aside to cool while we prepare the dressing
Dressing
- Mix all dressing ingredients until the dressing is smooth and well combined.
Assembling Your Salad
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked shrimp, finely chopped celery, diced jicama, and chopped red onion.
- Gently toss everything to distribute the flavors evenly.
- Now, drizzle that delectable dressing we prepared earlier over the salad. Be generous with it—it's what will make your shrimp salad truly sensational. Give it one final toss to coat all the ingredients evenly with the dressing.
