This is probably my favorite dinner salad.  Something about this shrimp and avocado salad screams summer, refreshing and satisfying all at the same time.  And it tastes better the longer you let the shrimp marinade, so it can be made ahead if you’re expecting company or are like me and have more time to prepare supper in the afternoon (during nap time) than in the evening (when everyone is starving and wants to eat right now).
