Preparation
- Bring a large pot of water with 2 tablespoons salt and ¼ cup (60 ml) lime juice to a low boil over medium heat. Working in batches of about 6, poach the shrimp until they are firm, opaque, and have a ‘C’ shape but are not tightly curled. The internal temperature should read 145˚F (63˚C). Transfer the cooked shrimp to the refrigerator to cool completely.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, remaining 2 tablespoons lime juice, Fiery spice blend, Dijon, shallot, jalapeño, and chives.
- Toss cooled shrimp in the dressing to coat, then fold in the cucumber, mango, and avocado. Season with the remaining teaspoon of salt and the pepper.
- Serve the shrimp salad in the lettuce leaves. Garnish with chives, mango slices, and more Fiery spice blend, if desired. Serve cold.
- Enjoy!
