Shrimp Taco Salad


This was really easy and was a nice light option for dinner.  You could also make this for lunch and enjoy sitting outside enjoying the beautiful spring weather.  Also, feel free to try it with other types of dressings, I am sure it would be great.

lime juice
olive oil
ground cumin
2 garlic cloves, minced
maple syrup
bottled hot sauce
shrimp, peeled, deveined and patted dry

corn
mixed greens
2 green onions, chopped
1/4 cup cilantro
black beans, rinsed and drained
tomato, chopped
avocado, diced
chipotle dressing (I used bottled chipotle cheddar dressing)

blue corn tortilla chips

Season shrimp with lime juice, olive oil, ground cumin, garlic, maple syrup and hot sauce. Toss all together to coat. Basically enough of these ingredients to coat and season the shrimp.

Drizzle sauté pan with olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Sauté shrimp until the shrimp are completely cooked through.

Dress mixed greens with salad dressing. Top with green onions, cilantro, corn, black beans, tomato, avocado and shrimp. Garnish with tortilla chips. Serve and ENJOY!!!!

Wine pairing......Sauvignon Blanc.
