A fantastic 30 minute meal for the summer – cilantro lime grilled shrimp salad with a creamy avocado dressing. Perfect for those summer nights.
Cilantro lime grilled shrimp salad with a creamy avocado dressing. I want this salad every single day for a very long time.
My family might revolt if I did that though. Or at least my husband would. Salad is not a meal in his estimation.
Me, on the other hand? I could happily eat a great big salad for supper every night of the week. I love giant salads with all sorts of stuff in them. Even better if they involve seafood of some sort. But I’m not real particular – as long as it’s salad and has lots of different things in it, I’m a happy camper.
This cilantro lime grilled shrimp salad is fantastic. Grilled shrimp skewers, avocado, red pepper, grape tomatoes and mango, and topped with a creamy avocado dressing. It’s super quick and easy to throw together, and even with all the chopping necessary for a salad, it’s on the table in 30 minutes.
That makes it the perfect meal for July’s 30 Minute Thursday. If you’re new around here, 30 Minute Thursday is where myself and some of my blogging friends all share a meal that can be made in 30 minutes or less on the first Thursday of the month. It gives you a whole list of 30 minute meals so you can get a fantastic meal on the table without spending hours in the kitchen.
I love these 30 minute meals. Every month there’s a whole new list of meals that I can’t wait to try out. I don’t know about you, but I am always looking for quick and easy meals to make. Especially since I’m the world’s worst meal planner and typically decide what to make for supper approximately 30 minutes before supper.
I need to get better at that.
But for now, I will happily keep making these 30 minute meals that we share every month! Including this amazing cilantro lime grilled shrimp salad with creamy avocado dressing.
Because salad is most definitely a meal.

I love a big salad with lots of goodies on it for dinner, too, Stacey! That cilantro-lime grilled shrimp looks delicious, and I bet it’s so good paired with the mango on this salad! As usual, I can’t wait to try out everyone’s 30 minute recipes this month! 🙂
My two favorites…shrimp and avocados. You had me sold with those two items. I love a good salad for dinner. There are just something healthy, light and summery about them. I have to make this. Yum!

Van huis uit ben ik een salade hater. Maar deze salade herft mij bijna bekeerd.
Garnalen in welke vorm dan ook is mijn lievelingskostje!

Haha my husband is the same! But I am totally on board salad for every night. I’ll take a giant bowl of this gorgeous salad! Love the avocado lime dressing!
I’ve *finally* converted my husband into a salad lover…there is still hope 😉 This salad looks delicious and that dressing sounds divine!
I love salads that are loaded with so much good stuff in them! This salad looks incredible, Stacey! That dressing sounds so good I could probably just eat it with a spoon too 😉
Ha ha. Yeah I feel like guys can’t get into the whole “salad as a meal” thing. But I’m certainly on board with it. Just give me a big bowl of this salad and I’m a happy camper! That dressing sounds delicious!
You totally sold me with that avocado dressing! This salad looks absolutely gorgeous, Stacey! I love the grilled shrimp in here, especially with the cilantro. This definitely screams summer and deliciousness!
