What can I use instead of butter lettuce?<\/strong><\/p>\nThis salad can be made with any lettuce. Without butter lettuce, I suggest romaine or green leaf lettuce.<\/p>\n
Is frozen shrimp, OK?<\/strong><\/p>\nYes. I only buy frozen shrimp. Unless you live near the ocean, most of the shrimp at the seafood counter is frozen.<\/p>\nSalad of honey lime shrimp – Danae<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nHow to cook Honey lime Shrimp Salad<\/h2>\nINGREDIENTS:<\/h3>\n\n3 tablespoons olive oil<\/li>\n 3 tablespoons honey<\/li>\n 5 tablespoons lime juice<\/li>\n Zest of a lime<\/li>\n 2 teaspoons chili powder<\/li>\n 1 1\/2 teaspoons ground cumin<\/li>\n 1\/4 teaspoon garlic powder<\/li>\n Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste<\/li>\n 1 pound raw medium sized shrimp, peeled and deveined<\/li>\n 1 head butter lettuce (or 5 cups lettuce of choice)<\/li>\n 1 avocado, peeled and sliced<\/li>\n 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved<\/li>\n 1\/3 cup crumbled queso fresco<\/li>\n 1\/2 cup fresh or defrosted frozen corn<\/li>\n Cilantro for garnish<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nINSTRUCTIONS<\/h3>\n\nSeason with salt and pepper in a small jar or bowl with olive oil and honey.
