Shrimp Louie - The Best Shrimp Avocado Salad Recipe
5 from 5 votes
This fresh and vibrant Shrimp Louie Salad consists of a bed of lettuce topped with avocado, hard boiled egg, tomato, cucumber, and seared shrimp. Topped with the signature Shrimp Louie dressing this salad makes a delicious lunch meal. All tossed up, it could also be a great summer BBQ side dish.
Start by preparing the Shrimp Louie salad dressing. Stir together mayonnaise, chilli sauce (adjust amount to desired heat level), Dijon mustard, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Add a little water, if needed to make the dressing pourable. Set aside.
Heat a skillet to medium-high heat, then add the butter to melt it. Prepare the shrimp by seasoning them with salt and pepper from both sides. Place them in the hot skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes from each side until pink and curled into a C. Remove seared shrimp from pan and set aside.
Assemble the Shrimp Louie salad. You can toss all ingredients in a large bowl, but I prefer assembling individual salad bowls. Place the shredded lettuce into the bowls first, then arrange sliced egg, cucumber, avocado, cherry tomatoes and shrimp on rows on top.
Add a lime wedge to each bowl and drizzle with the prepared Shrimp Louie sauce.
Notes
* Adjust amount of chili sauce to the heat level you can handle. Sometimes I use a Chipotle chili sauce which gives the dressing a great smokiness, but it is not too spicy so I use 3 tablespoons. Other times I have used a Habanero chili sauce that is quite hot, so I used only 1 tablespoon of it. ** Depending how thick the chili sauce is that you use (and how much)
