This shrimp salad is loaded with avocado, cucumbers, tomatoes and corn all over a bed of bright romaine. It’s so fresh and extremely satisfying with a light and easy cilantro dressing. Trust me; your first thought won’t be, “oh this is such a healthy salad.”

You’ll just sit there chewing with a big goofy grin on your face and run for a refill before you’ve even finished your bowl.

Note: Freshly boiled corn or grilled corn makes all the difference in this salad. Use canned in winter but fresh is best and adds a sweet burst of flavor. If you aren’t into shrimp, this salad is still amazing served vegetarian.

      Hi, Natasha! I love your recipes. I’m preparing this salad right now to take to work the next couple days. Have you added the avocados to the dressing? Trying to still use them but don’t want them to brown since I’m neal prepping with limited lunch time the next couple days. I need to be able to take the salad out and dump the dressing and eat it! Thoughts?

        Hi Sara, to prevent them from getting brown I like to keep them in an airtight container and by spraying this with a little lemon juice. That seems to do the trick.

        Yum, yum salad! Didn’t have Cajun spices so made my own with some subs. Did the job
        Salad takes a lot of prep time.
        Suggest doing all veggies first then some wine. Then shrimp then some wine. Then the salad dressing. Then some wine. Then have fun assembling !!!
        Serve crispy Italian bread!

      Hi Marina, if you can get your hands on wild caught (not farmed) shrimp, that is best. Otherwise, the peeled and deveined raw frozen bagged shrimp at Costco is the easiest to work with (very minimal prep required besides pulling the end tail off).

    Love corn, but for some reason I can’t picture it tasting all that good with shrimp and avocado. I’m going to make this recipe, but I will go a little easy on the red onion and substitute the corn with maybe some cucumber or zucchini. Maybe even add some pine nuts.

      Hi Eddie, we love corn in our family and the sweet fresh corn was a really good match with the rest of the salad. Fresh corn really makes it though so use fresh if you can. You could substitute and just add more cucumber or a little more of everything else.

      Due to time constraints, I don’t typically include nutritional info, but check out this nutrition analyzer – you can plug in the ingredients from any recipe, select the serving size and it will give you nutritional info, calories, etc. I hope that is helpful to you Perla!

    This salad is absolutely delicious! Served it tonight for our daughter’s birthday dinner and everyone raved about it. All the best flavors of summer blended together! We will definitely be making this again. I used frozen shrimp and thought it was great, but after reading your suggestion I will buy fresh shrimp next time to make it even better.

    This is the best salad I have ever had. I was full but wanted to eat more, but I didn’t. I can’t believe this salad, it leaves you full and not missing anything else. Very satisfying and extremely delicious and would recommend it to everyone, even if you don’t care much for salad, you’ll love this.

      Hi Nataliya, fresh shrimp and fresh corn will make all the difference in flavor and texture in this salad. Fresh corn adds an amazing pop of sweet flavor so I would Highly recommend using fresh corn. Also, re-cooking cooked shrimp will cause it to get rubbery and release water without really taking on the flavor of the seasonings as well.

I’m not known to be a cook in the family, but I received many raves by my husband, sister, and sister-in-law. I can’t wait to make the other recipes!

    Could I make this ahead of time or not since the salad is asking for avocado?

      Hi Dina, it really is best just before serving. The citrus in the dressing will keep the avocado from browning for a few hours but the lettuce will soften if you pre-make and pre-mix it with dressing. I would suggest prepping all the ingredients ahead of time and just before serving, slice up and add the avocado and toss with the dressing.

    Natasha, this is going on my top favorite summer salad list. My family and I absolutely enjoyed its freshness and acidity.

    Side note, thank you so much for all of your recipes, in the Slavic community, it is sometimes hard to follow along Russian/Ukrainian recipes that our parents and grandparents pass along and you make it super easy and not overwhelming at all. Keep the recipes coming! Also, I completely agree with Dina Chmut on supporting you if you ever get an app. 🙂

      Hi Irina, it depends. The most important thing to look for is wild caught and if you get peeled and deveined, it will cut your prep in half for this salad and is way easier to make. Costco doesn’t have wild caught (bummer!) so I buy mine at Fred Meyer. Wild Caught is better because farmed are laced with chemicals from what I’ve heard and read.

    Hello Natasha! I am getting ready to make this salad for a birthday party and I have a really dumb question to ask you: do I need to buy raw or cooked shrimp? Looking at the picture (before you add all the spices and saute it), the shrimp looks like it is pink and I am not sure if that’s just the type of shrimp, or if its not raw. Please let me know 🙂

      Hi Natalie! that is a totally legit question and I should have specified. Raw shrimp that has been peeled and deveined. If you buy peeled and deveined, it is way easier and faster than doing it yourself 🙂 Also, the shrimp was a wild-caught Texas gulf shrimp and it was pink when it was raw. Sorry I didn’t specify and thank YOU for asking! 🙂

    Made this salad for dinner on Sunday as a main meal and substituted shrimp for langoustine tails (wild from trader joes and cheaper than shrimp). I wanted to give you a super tight squeeze for sharing this amazing recipe. What can I say…..you are awesome Natasha!
    For those who don’t like sea food, you can omit it and still have a flavourfull salad. Don’t even think about using canned corn, the fresh corn really did make all the difference .

    I have done something very similar to this salad before, but I used lime instead of lemon for the dressing. This salad is just so refreshing.
