10 oz. medium-large shrimp 1 bag salad mix (any kind) 4 tsp. blackened seasoning 1 avocado, diced Grape tomatoes, halved ¼ red onion, sliced 1 green apple, diced
Pat shrimp dry with paper towels and coat evenly with blackened seasoning.
Heat 1 tablespoon butter, bacon fat, coconut oil or other cooking oil over medium high heat.
Add shrimp and cook for about 1-2 minutes per side, until cooked through but not overcooked. They should no longer be opaque.
Combine remaining salad ingredients and serve with mango dressing (below).
Cook's Tips:
Use the fan while cooking the shrimp - the blackened seasoning has a tendency to smoke.
Don't overcook the shrimp or it will be chewy.
Substitute other fruit for mango is you don't like mango. Most fruits will work.
