How do you make a salad with shrimp and cherry tomatoes? Very simple. First, prepare the necessary ingredients for the marinade. It will later become a salad dressing. I took extra virgin olive oil, but you can take any vegetable to taste.

In a bowl, mix the olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, honey and ground black pepper.

Now prepare the necessary ingredients for the salad base. Tomatoes can be used by anyone. I have cherry. The vegetable part can be supplemented or replaced to your liking. Royal shrimp can be replaced with any other type of shrimp to taste, as well as supplemented with other seafood, for example, mussels, squid, etc.

If the shrimp is frozen, scald them with boiling water. I have shrimp already peeled, only a ponytail left. If you have shrimp with your head and shell, take 1. 5-2 times more so that after peeling the shrimp is enough for a salad.

Cover the peeled shrimp with marinade and leave for 20-30 minutes.

Heat the pan over a high heat. Place the shrimp along with the marinade and fry for a couple of minutes. Then remove the shrimp from the pan, cool the resulting sauce.

Cut the cheese into thin slices or grate over a coarse grater. Cheese is suitable for anyone from ordinary Russian, ending with suluguni and mozzarella. The main thing is that the cheese is tasty. I have a young Parmesan.

Cut cherry tomatoes into halves or quarters. If you have a regular tomato, then cut it into wedges. Tomatoes are needed dense. Soft fruits do not hold their shape well, in the process of cutting and cooking they will spread into a shapeless mass and spoil the appearance of the dish.

Cut the avocado in half, remove the bone. Peel each half and slice. It is important to clean avocados in exactly that sequence. After all, avocados contain essential oils and after peeling the fruit becomes slippery. When you cut it in half, you can cut it.

Wash the arugula and dry. Tear large leaves with your hands. Instead of arugula, you can take other greens to taste. A ready-made salad leaf mix will work well.

Place the arugula, tomatoes, avocado slices, shrimp and parmesan on the dish. Pour over the sauce in which the prawns were braised and serve the salad to the table. Enjoy your meal!
