Shrimp And Avacado Salad With Miso Dressing - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter
1 lb raw shrimp, tails removed
5 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
2 avocados, pitted peeled and cut into cubes
1 cucumber, sliced
1/2 cup shredded carrot
1/2 cup edamame
6 cups chopped lettuce, of choice
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, for serving
1/3 cup peanuts, for topping
For the Dressing
1 inch piece of fresh peeled ginger
3 tablespoons oil
4 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons Agave
2 tablespoons white miso
3 garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation

Heat a large skillet and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Once hot, add raw shrimp and garlic. Stir. Sprinkle shrimp with chili powder and cayenne pepper. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are no longer transparent and are golden on the outside, approximately 3 minutes each side.
Prepare the salad bowls. Divide lettuce, avocado, cucumber, carrots and edamame between your bowls (2 bowls for very large salads, or 4 bowls for lighter salads). Top with fresh cilantro and peanuts and last, the prepared shrimp.
Prepare the salad dressing- Place all of the salad dressing ingredients in the bowl of a food processor or high powered blender and process until smooth and creamy. Taste and add any additions you feel necessary (lime juice, agave, salt).
Pour the miso dressing over the salad, toss and serve immediately.
